When the sun, Earth and moon align, be it 3:00 a.m., I just have to get out there and see it. Though I didn´t get to bed until 5:30 a.m. and I am ridiculously tired, it was worth it.

It´s funny how something so scientific, so predictable, can still be so mystical, so intriguing. 

It has also come to my attention that apart from only having a 200 mm zoom to shoot things like the moon, my long-distance vision might also be at fault…I think it´s time for a check-up. I don´t know why I was able to shoot more in-focus just the other day than this time…a bit of a bummer, but it´s still an interesting subject, so I thought I´d go ahead and publish what I got.

A total lunar eclipse in the making.

It was an absolutely gorgeous, clear night. I went to a friend´s apartment building where we stood on the 27th floor to watch.
