Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikkor 300mm f4.5

Lunar Eclipse Tonight
Don’t forget to go outside tonight at 1:51 AM PDT (07:51 GMT), to see the beginning of the eclipse of the moon. Totality is about an hour later. The best viewing is west of the Rockies and the Pacific Rim, so start moving in that direction now.
If you’re not awake, it’s overcast or you can’t see it for some other reason, use Stellarium, and see it on your computer. That’s how I see most stuff anyway.
