Off topic: The Lunar Eclipse is going on. It looks amazing.
Just thought I'd remind those of you who have a chance to see it.

I was just outside with my telescope and Saturn's rings are very visible right now due to the glare of the moon being temporarily nixed. Really cool

Went out to see the eclipse, watched for 10 seconds, went inside. "It's 8 degrees here".

And you can see Saturn and the star Regulus (constellation of Leo). Very cool (10.4 °F / -12.0 °C) out.

Sorry for the shaky shots guys.... I'm cold. It's not 10 but, 30F is cold enough for me.

I caught the whole thing in a clear sky, after a nice snowfall today. Amazing.

Just watched it during my drive from Madison to Milwaukee. One of the few times I enjoy having a glass moonroof (hey, I'm using it for its namesake!) Crystal clear and -1F out here makes for good viewing!

Was cloudy all day, then just about 20 minutes before full eclipse, the clouds left for a great show.
Then yesterday we had a meteorite show, crashed just south east of here. Then last night I saw another, but it wasn't as spectacular as the one in the morning http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2004/...eor040603.html

I missed the eclipse - but my brother made it outside to try and get some shots just because of how bright the moon was - I thought this one came out nicely.

We had a clear sky last night here in Kentucky. Used high powered binoculars w/ a tripod to watch the eclipse. Very cool.
