Total Eclipse of the Moon

Hey, isn’t that a Pink Floyd song on Dark Side of the Moon? No, the song I was thinking of was Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Anyway, we rolled out of bed this morning at 3:45am to catch the event. Initially, it was a little cloudy but the skies cleared for a perfect view of the total lunar eclipse, the first in the 21st century. About half way through I went back to the cottage to pick up the camera and get a few shots. As the eclipse proceeded and the moon dimmed more and more, the stars really started to pop out in the night sky. Some more photos and a NASA explanation of the event
