it starts at 352am EST and is over at 552am. And yes, its 211am right now and I will be up, with the camera on the tripod, taking numerous pictures. Of course, I will be using my digital and the film over the 2 hour period, and will have the digital pics posted tomorrow, the film pics may take a while.

Morning! 11:05am and here is my report from the Lunar Eclipse. It was exactly 1 hour off schedule. I am guessing because of daylight savings time. It actually started at 4:52am and went to orange at 5:52am. At least I think it was then because there was a TON of clouds out this morning. I went to bed at 620am and still couldnt see an orange moon. BUT, here are some pics I took....

Those were taken from my balcony, using a tripod, an 8 second delay, and using a Kodak point and shoot C360 camera.

Did not use my film camera because.......it didnt have any film. lol
