Burning

[JimFox]

The Lunar Eclipse was wiped out for many because of clouds. I specifically had driven 3 hours to Fairplay Colorado as the forecast promised clear skies. The temps were supposed to be in the 20's at night, but I figured it was worth it. As I had mentioned in another thread, the forecasters were off by about 80% on their weather predications. Despite the clouds playing hide and seek with the moon throughout the night I was able to capture the eclipse, so that was awesome. And the hide and seek routine also provided some unique images of the moon I believe. This is one of them.

I was fortunate that when the clouds did roll in, they were thin enough that the moon could still burn through most of them.

I got up and went outside around 2:00-2:30 am and yes, same partial cover and I had the same as you.

Very nice in the "dreamy" way!

I was fortunate that the clouds were only when the moon was rising and when it was setting. I had totally clear skies for the eclipse itself.
