Digression: Total Lunar Eclipse 2008 Feb 20



As a digression from the general thread, I took a sequence of photos of the total lunar eclipse of 2008 Feb 20. This sequence was assembled from individual images shot from my front door step which, aside from being convenient, provided a wonderful opportunity to get warm regularly.

The last time I saw a total lunar eclipse was (IIRC) September 2003 while visiting Moab. Unfortunately I had no tripod available at that time and no photos were taken then. This time I was better prepared.

The images are crops from individual frames assembled using GIMP.

Enjoy.
