The University of Maryland Observatory was opened this morning for
the lunar eclipse- so I nipped over there, just in time for totality.
Reasonably dark, a good view of the moon, and very thin clouds made
viewing a pleasure. Sorry, I didn't take my camera. Bad move- since
there were Morris Dancers to photograph! One man described it as "A
spontaneous outburst of medieval exuberance". "Surreal" was my
reaction. The squeeze box player was heard to say "I don't do jigs"

What no pictures??
I tend to wake every night a couple of times after first retiring, so I
knew I didnt have to set an alarm to see the show...
However, in the city I was not going to get dressed and venture out
alone in the cold and dark to try seomthing I"m not very good at anyway
- so I simply looked out my front window (through the glass) about 3:15
am EST. and saw the lovely orange glow and a sliver of silver crescent
at the right edge.
Hope some of you lot got some shots.
