fearsclave to Murray Hill park to see the lunar eclipse, along with Patrice (see last year's Bigfoot MegaWargame for more details on him) and a photographer friend of his named Laurent.
Eclipse was, of course, spectacular, although by the end I got quite cold, having neglected to bring along either a sweater or a jacket.
Amusing encounters of the evening: middle-aged gentleman with a golden retriever named McGraw, a gaggle of teenagers who appeared to have more money and leisure time than brains, and an older couple with a labrador-mix, all of whom got a look through the telescope. Earlier on a young boy of maybe eleven on rollerblades asked to look throught the 'scope, announced loudly that he knew where we could get a better view, and then skated off. *shrug*
I had lots of fun with my disposable camera. Yes, the one with which I was blithely blinding people at Hurley's last Friday. I did the same thing tonight, and took a few photos of the moon itself, although I have very little faith that they will come out looking like anything at all, other than a vast expanse of black with a small point of light at best.
We were out from about 10pm to 12:35am, and I'm going to be a basket case at work today. Work day begins in a few short hours, but I wanted to document this event, which only takes place ever fifteen years or so, and I know I probably won't have time tomorrow.
Off to bed.
