bright moon with misty clouds here, nothing yet supposed to see 'something' like a penumbra or a labia majora about 1:20 ish.
But whats really freaking me out is something walking just past the tree line. Could be deer. Could be a possum. Could be Underworld III Rise of the Lycans. Just saying.

Figured a way to dim the light off the moon with my camera so it can take a clear shot instead of a bright dot. Yea!. Full eclipse wont be there until 3am I think. Guess I'll set my alarm.
