The moon went dark last night like some kind of portent. We almost missed it since it was overcast here all day, but the sky suddenly cleared about thirty minutes before totality.

Eclipse

I could have nabbed a better picture if I had taken my tripod out with me, but just getting the camera to focus on the dim moon was the biggest challenge. I finally managed to get a shot that was moderately sharp by manually focusing on a distant streetlight and assuming that it was closer enough to "infinity" for the moon to be in focus as well.

In other news, I am now officially a corporation. I don't feel any different, but it may have tax implications next year.

Great picture! The skies cleared around 11:30 PM so I went out with my point and shoot Canon PowerShot, but by then the moon was very dim. I haven't looked to see how my pictures turned out but I'm expecting a lot of motion blur and grain.
