    Well it was raining again last night when I went to bed. At 4:30 this morning I woke up and the moon was shining on the window shade, So I thought it might be clear enough to get a look at the lunar eclipse. Only problem is, at my house there are a lot of tall trees blocking the view of the western sky where the moon was setting. Then I realized I could see it well from the parking lot at work, I put my camera and small telescope in the truck, came over and got this, and got to work early in time to see the field crew off as they leave for a project several hours away -

    I took twenty pictures, this was the only one not lousy:
