April Surprise

I had forgotten all about the lunar eclipse, when I woke up in the middle of the night with back pain. I looked out the window and was so excited. I took my pain meds, grabbed my tripod and camera and ran outside. Here is the fruit of my labor. If you enlarge, you will understand my crop...there is a faint star above the moon, that I included in my photo.

A beautiful portrait of the eclipse. Excellent detail, and I like the 2 stars included.

I like the detail and color in the moon, but the two stars add interest to the image.

Lucy: I woke up late like you but was too lazy to break out the camera so I just observed and enjoyed for a while. Nicely done. >=))>

Nice photo! Glad you didn't miss the eclipse. I too had to take pain meds for my back just to be able to get out to photograph the eclipse...

Oh Grant, I'm so sorry you are another back pain sufferer

I look forward to your eclipse photo!

You did well Lucy. I like the crop with the moon and the two "stars". There a nice balance with the planet in the lower right. We were completely overcast so...maybe next time.
