There is going to be another lunar eclipse tonight, although unfortunately, it looks like much of North America will be under clouds. This is the first total lunar eclipse in about 3 years. The moon will begin to enter earths shadow at 10:32 Pacific Time. The sunlight on the full moon will be completely blocked by the earth from 11:40 to 12:53 Pacific time. The shadow should be off the moon at 2:02 a.m. Pacific time.

This photo was from back in the days I used slide film. I had tracked the moons movement over the preceding days - I was actually surprised at how lateral the moon moved, originally I had expected to shoot this vertically. I realized about 5 minutes between exposures gave me a nice placement. So then on the night of the eclipse, I would take a photo, then back the film up and would repeat so that I made multiple exposures on a single piece of film. I had to hope the exposure was right because there were no re-dos. Looking back at this image reminds me just how much easier digital cameras have made photography!
