April 15th 2014: Lunar Eclipse

Lucked out with nice weather, a small miracle considering it was flurrying yesterday morning...

Here is the view from Iowa City where a surprising number of students braved 30F and light winds at 2 AM to observe totality.

Also a good view from Lincoln, NE. Had a fair number of UNL students out watching as well.

We cleared out just in time to get a nice view here:

Dan, is that a composite image or were you able to see the moon that big/clearly that night? Here's mine

Daniel, those images were straight exposures. The Arch floodlights are turned off at that hour, which made the exposure of both possible in a single frame.
