The Once In 600 Years Red Marble

Well, last night was bad, just not as bad as it could, there was rain, fog, wind & clouds. I managed to snap a few photos during the maximum, other parts were washed out.

At maximum eclipse when the clouds opened up:

Here is the time lapse:

It's quite jumpy because I had to re-align the camera whenever the moon appeared behind the clouds.

Nice job and the TL is informative even if jumpy.

A much better view than what we had in the Portland/Vancouver area - it rained right through the eclipse which is exactly what the weather forecasts said it would do. I didn't stay up to find out if it was true but my weather station rain gauge shows precipitation up until 5:43AM.

Wow Oliver! You nailed it! I am really glad the clouds opened up for you. I had similar conditions, but once the clouds came in down here, they stayed over it. I stayed up past what should have been the max eclipse, but it never showed it's face again.

Hi Ben, I had to adjust the camera as the clouds blocked the sky most of the night.

Alan, I almost gave up when the rain started; when I saw Jim's post, I thought I would wait a bit longer, it paid off.

Jim, I was watching the sky, it was a tough night; although the moon was gorgeous near the maximum.
