In case you missed it, here's another chance to see a few highlights from the last total lunar eclipse until 2014... Unfortunately, viewing conditions from Santa Clarita were less than ideal due to a bank of cirrus clouds which graced the skies just before the eclipse began. There were a few brief breaks in the heavier cloud cover, but never a perfectly clear moment, so most of these shots are plagued with fuzzy, blurry, and hazy images. 4 different cameras captured various angles and magnifications to help make the show a little more interesting in spite of the less-than-perfect conditions. Earlier in the night a nice moonbow provided some pre-eclipse entertainment as well. All in all, a decent show =)
