March 3rd, 2007

Uploaded 3/4/07

 Here are a few shots from last nights lunar eclipse at moonrise, seen here in central Arizona as the final penumbral stages as the moon came up. The atmospheric distortion was quite obvious, and made the event all the more interesting. You can just see the darkening on the lunar disk at the 1 o'clock position near the top.
