At least I got a pretty good picture of a cow in the dark

shame you couldn't get it jumping over the moon. I've seen more lunar
eclipses than you can bay at. They tend to get a bit sameish after a while.
Not worth driving 50 miles for.

Well yea, but this was the only total lunar eclipse taking place on the
winter solstice, in 300 years. The next one won't occur for another
like period of time. It seems a shame to not try to capture it since
you'll never have the opportunity again. That said, it does look pretty
much like every other total eclipse. I didn't have the optionf as I was
already traveling 60 miles for an evening of drunken debauchery, perhaps
I should try sober debauchery next time. It was overcast the whole way
as well.
