Lunar Eclipse
 
I know some folks in eastern North America might have had a chance to see it. Here are some pictures for those that didn't. It was a clear (and effin' cold!) here last night. Perfect for viewing.
Around 9:30 pm EST:

Didnt know that you guys got the moon in your part of the world (where is Canada again? north or south of Africa?). I was under the impression Apollo 11 towed it closer to America to make it easier for their Moon missions.
It was cold here last night too, nearly had to put a blanket on the bed. Brrrrrrr.

dont let our American friends fool you. They never made it to the moon. They simply landed the 'spaceship' out in the desert & pretended they made it. Proof you ask? Did you see any cheese? Did any get brought back? Everyone knows the moon is made of cheese.... ;)

Only in Green Bay, Wisconsin and that's because their ancestors came from the moon. :rolleyes:

what kind of camera did you use?
tried to take some with the wife camera but they didnt come out

I used a Canon Powershot A710IS, locked off on a tripod. Manual focus, aperature priority, and the max digital zoom (24x). I used the self timer to operate the shutter so my shivering hand didn't cause the image to blur on the long exposure.
