Lunar Eclipse

Tonight was the last lunar eclipse until 2010 and we lucked out with fantastic weather for the event! We had pretty thick cloud cover until dark, and then it totally cleared up and had a great view of the stellar phenomenon. We took my telescope over to the Irey's and each got a chance to see a close-up of the moon, as well as Saturn. You could clearly see the rings of Saturn and at least one moon (checking a star chart, I'm 99% sure that it is Titan). Check out the Irey's blog for some more photos that she is going to post:
