Lunar Eclipse

Tonight's lunar eclipse may have been the prettiest I've ever seen - and I've seen quite a few. The moon turned a distinct red at totality, an element that is often expected but frequently absent. The star at the left of the moon is Saturn.

Here in Georgia, the skies where partly cloudy, adding an interesting element to the eclipse as the moon hid and reappeared among the clouds. At totality it was completely clear.
