Bye bye moon

[dreamshark]

We are getting a moderately good view of the lunar eclipse, which is now at totality. The sky is hazy enough to obscure all but the brightest stars and the moon is a little fuzzy, but you could definitely see it gradually turning into a big pink grapefruit.

I've been giving this far more thought than it probably deserves, but it's likely that I attributed some of the effects of haze to the EXTREMELY ANNOYING light pollution produced by neighbors and nearby businesses. I wished I had a BB gun several times.

It also may have cleared up at some point, at least right overhead, since I was able to see quite a few stars there as I went back inside.
