Super Moon full eclipse

We'll just get the last little bit of the eclipse here but it's hidden by the trees ATM. Last night's moon was hooooge.
 
It's blurry here...too many clouds....bleh.

I did see a bit of it tho.
 
Thanks. I should have been prepared with the tripod, but we had people stop by out of the blue.

Through one of my birch trees.

After a weekend of grey skies, I finally got enough of a break to watch it. Couldn't get a decent shot of it to save my life, though.
 
Caught a few minutes of it between the skyscrapers in the city an hour and some change ago when the clouds briefly cleared up. Actually, it was very cool to see it slowly fade into clarity as the clouds fuzzed away. People on the street stopped to look up where they could see it happening.

Luckily, at the time when I get out of the office at night five times a week, if the sky is clear enough, the moon always happens to be visible right at a certain spot on the cross street from my building. Glad I managed to see it in the flesh, since this super blood moon lunar eclipse apocalypse rise of the dead harbinger dinger thinger won't be happening for another thirty years, I hear. ;)

Took a posterity pic with my iPhone but without a macro lens and tripod, all I could get was a shiny speck of a slightly eclipsed light sphere in a hazy dark sky.
 
Ha! If only I did not agree to open the shop in the morning I would set up the tripod.

Those shots are really lovely, thanks. It's the last little bite out of the moon here and the moon itself looks so close.
 
More than half way decent Jezz.

I blame (read thank) my late afternoon latte.

I live in a city so I couldn't see it even if I went outside. To much light pollution. I had to watch it on the net. Still wonderful.

Thanks Aglaopheme! You took some gorgeous shots as well. That last one...I love the way it captures the rays of the moon!
