February's Lunar Eclipse

A month ago today a total lunar eclipse occurred, and Wisconsin actually had clear weather! The weather was skin-freezingly cold, making the air crisp and clear... and cold. Really cold.

These exposures varied from 1/200s at around ISO200 to 1/8s at ISO1600. In 2010 I'll rent a longer lens to get closer, as 400mm was fairly insufficient.

For those considering purchasing one of these montages, sizes greater than about 8x10" will probably suffer from some quality loss. I have printed several at 8x10, and they're beautiful, and a couple have gone to schools for educational purposes.
