Lunar Eclipse totality starts in less than an hour! - May 15th

Space is so cool

I'll just send these up unedited. Taken in the 15 min leading up to the start of totality, the last pic. phone camera thru an inexpensive telecope so not super sharp or anything

Of course it's not sharp. The moon is round, silly

Thanks!

Here's one last one after the Earth's shadow receded most of the way, about an hour ago:

I ended up going to sleep a little after totality so I missed the moon becoming visible again. Cool pics again btw!! I love eclipses, for a brief moment the whole world looks up and focuses on one thing together.

Ah that explains why, while looking at it up close in the telescope, I haven't poked my eye out yet.

Those photos are great, thanks for sharing! Unfortunately it was cloudy here that night so I didn't get a chance to see it myself.
