The cloudy snowy skies here cleared up just long enough to allow me to watch the lunar eclipse... somewhat rust-colored at that. I tried to take a few pictures (digital camera), which I've posted below...

Full-frame (gimp: rescaled 450x338, gamma +1.5)

A 450x338 crop taken from the full-frame (not rescaled, gimp: gamma +1.5)

Did anyone else get a chance to watch it?

Yep, just loaded up Celestia, and zoomed in on the moon, and there is was :twisted:

I also watched it. If it wasn't so cold out I might have watched it more, but I was only able to run outside every 15 minutes or so to take a look. It's always fun to see.

Surprise Surprise... I got clouded over. Just like last eclipse, and comet Holmes.

One of the community members from another forum I belong to took this picture... a really beautiful shot.

Hi. It was beautiful in Bariloche. I took a series of pictures and made a composition, which you can find in my page: here

Oh, well, I can just insert it here:
