Anyone capturing the Lunar Eclipse Tonight?

I drove 3 hours from my daughters to a town called Fairplay Colorado. It's Supposed to be clear out tonight here, and no winds. With the time change I got here in the dark, but I think I found a good place to set up.

So I am going for the Lunar Eclipse, anyone else?

Well... I guess the clouds didn't want you to feel jealous. Currently the clouds are covering 80% of the sky. Thankfully they are thin, so I have been able to shoot through them sort of...

I do see a patch of bare sky working it's way towards the moon, hopefully it arrives before the eclipse.

Oh... and about midnight I realized that I left the special tripod for my Astro Mount at my daughters.... so much for tracking the moon, so now I have to do it the hard way with constantly recomposing. :(
