any of y'all shooting the lunar eclipse tonight?

@confusedcharlot I was mostly in it for the watching and didn't plan well enough to have my better cameras charged, but I did end up successfully pointing my smartphone camera through my telescope to get a few decent shots!

Here are a few more or less at random, I might put together an animation or something later, we'll see!

@confusedcharlot Portland was socked in with clouds, so I drove out to the other side of the mountains to get out from under them.

Bonus shots: a cloud passing in front of the half-eclipsed moon, the mostly-visible moon reflecting in the river, and a shot of sunset at the replica Stonehenge where I set up 🙂

Also tagging @b_cavello cause they're the one that boosted onto my TL 😊

@cincodenada thank you!! 💖😭💖 What a gift. The inability to see replies on boosted tweets is something I do miss, and I really appreciate you taking the time. I also was sadly unable to see the eclipse due to the height of the buildings in my neighborhood, so this is especially a treat. Thank you!
