The clouds blew away just in time. This is within minutes of the eclipse beginning. A slight shadow tinges the "southwest" edge of the moon.

Trying a different exposure clarifies the shadow, but blurs the moon.

About forty minutes have elapsed. After this I couldn't get any details in the moon any more.

This is taken pretty close to the full eclipse. The moon turned a fantastic orange!

At 7:30 because of the snow and clouds, I gave up the idea of shooting the moon, so to speak, and at 8:00 when I looked out, I saw the clouds dispersing and ran out to catch these photos. I didn't get the second half of the eclipse; it was too cold and I'd already worn out both batteries!

great set! I love the clarity of the second one and the color of the last one! We sadly had thick clouds, and I missed just about the entire thing.
