This mornings partial lunar eclipse with the Seven Sisters (The Pleiades). It was cold this morning. At 2:00AM the temperature dropped to 29ºF. While taking photos of the eclipse my fingers became so numb I could barely press the shutter release. But the cold was worth every numb finger. The eclipse was exceptional! It may have been the darkest lunar eclipse I have ever seen. While not total, the moon was obscured 99.1% by the earths shadow, and certainly lived up to the name of "Blood Moon."
