For anyone who is interested, here is one of the pictures I took of the
eclipse:

It was taken on a Nikon D70 with a TMB 175 apo refractor.

Wow! That's a keeper.

Thanks.

It was a nice event, and fortunately the clouds held off here.

You're welcome.

Unfortunately, the clouds rolled in quickly around 10:40 - so most of totality was obscured. My later shots were taken through my Questar 700 so the public could look through the TMB, and I'm afraid I wasn't able to get critical focus with the Moon so
dim.

If anyone is interested, higher resolution copies are available by email if you contact me directly.


It's my understanding that the liberal elite had control of this lunar
eclipse and planned to, without success of course, to reflect the
words "Kerry for President" on the moon's surface.



BTW - IF shifting can get rid of interferences that a notch filter
might not be able to do.
