Total Lunar Eclipse from the shores of Chicago
03 March 2007


The day did not hold much promise to observe this eclipse, much less capture it with the S3, but luck and patience held out to get a small handful of usable shots.

I did not have the luxury of staying by the camera thruout the event - as I had to operate a telescope and interact with the public - but I think the shots that did come out, (many did not) - are kinda cool...

None were taken thru the telescope as I was not prepared, too cold and it just wasn't convenient.

    Hi there, I see quite a few folks managed to capture the eclipse from different parts of USA, you've had to deal with heavy clouds by the looks of it, where as others got a clear shot.

    In your third shot you can easily see the eclipse. :D
    Thanks for sharing .......... Skippy
