A lovely, near-total, lunar eclipse graced our skies in the wee hours of August 28. About 96 percent of the lunar disk was covered at peak eclipse, enough to reveal the colors imparted by Earth's shadow, but just shy of being total coverage. At the moment of peak eclipse a bank of slowly passing clouds drifted in and so, at 12:15 AM local time, we recorded the event two minutes after! Single-frame, DSLR image via astronomical telescope.
