A little looney perhaps.....

Yes, I set my alarm for 1AM to see the lunar eclipse. It was gorgeous as the ground flooded in moonlight went from bright to dark and the once invisible stars came popping out of the night sky as the earth's shadow gradually slipped across the face of the moon. My best photo on my simple point and shoot camera was taken about 2:30....after that it got steadily darker and more difficult to capture with any recognition through the viewfinder. I stayed up to see the last sliver of the moon be completely eclipsed and then I collapsed. Today might have its moments of struggles, but it was totally worth it!
