Lovely!

I had the alarm set for four, but there was too much cloud here. No surprise - I think I've missed the last three eclipses due to cloud cover.

The forecast was overcast here, but I happened to wake up in the middle of the light and went to have a look just in case. I decided it was too cold to dig out the tripod or try to set up the film Nikon with a 500mm mirror lens, so those are the two least-shakey hand-held photos taken on a compact camera.

I do have better photos of a lunar eclipse from a few years back that I keep meaning to scan and post.
