The lunar eclipse is starting!

But I can't really tell yet, the heavy low clouds are playing peek-a-boo with the moon. :-/

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

Confirmed. We have half a moon here. I want to take a pic but my laptop won't comply.

It's too cloudy tonight for me to confirm or deny that such an event took place.

Too cloudy here too :-/. The one time there's something interesting to see in the sky, California weather decides to come back...

I saw the moon for a very short moment about an hour ago when a small hole formed in the layer of clouds and it was already half eclipsed. Of course it simply looked like a half moon instead of a full moon :P Since then instead of the clouds clearing up more it started raining >:(

And I promptly forgot all about it until now, and it's over. :'(

I was up all night standing in our driveway, staring into thick black layers of clouds, clouds and more clouds until finally at around 5:30 CEST, for a few seconds a tiny hole opened up in the sky showing the moon as it was already traveling out of earths shadow.

There was no time to properly set up the camera parameters to get a sharp picture but well, still better than nothing:

The moon is back tonight, so I guess the gods were pleased with my sacrificing my housemates. I had to kill both, the moon's size indicated the gods were really pissed.

I'm going to post some pics from the eclipse here in a little bit - gimme a sec - just trying to get in before the lock -

And the whole thing was visible here the entire time, with a clear sky no less. I took some night film photos of the moon too but I haven't had them developed yet.
