Thanks for that PDXguy.
That Moon shot is incredible.

I've got about an hour to go until moonrise today. Since I'm in Virginia, it should be a good show. I plan on sharing the moment with 3 year-old my son, Steven.

Stephen, Noel certainly is accomplished in the deep-space area. Especially impressive to me was his M42/M43 view which is the best-looking amateur work on those nebulas(nebulae)that I've seen.

While I'm at it I'll also include for your viewing pleasure this very attractive Hubble telescope view of NGC 346 .

The weather did not agree. Too many clouds.

Well Peter, I suppose that we should say bad show. Anyway, by the time it got dark on the east coast the moon was already in totality, so even with clear weather you would've seen it coming out of eclipse, which subjectively is a less impressive sight than going in, at least in my view. Of course, if you should happen to be in the Bay Area for the next one, you're in business(never gets cloudy there, does it?).
