Here's the eclipse starting... the pics simply don't justify it, there's actually a huge bright spot around the moon right now, but my camera sucks and takes pictures too dark.

Oh ya, I can see it. Looks like it's at the peak right now. The moon's all crimson and stuff. Looks real good. Oh man, this is like, the THIRD lunar eclipse this year (Or were the other two last year?). That's rare. Makes me wish I had a good camera. The summer one was like, right THROUGH my window. I had the best view. Would have made a good picture for all the astronomy geeks out there.

Yeah I wish I had a good camera, heck it would be awesome to have those nasa type telescopes where they can zoom in like crazy on stuff.

But those are not really affordable for home use.

Meh, I'm sure you can get one off ebay. Or at least parts of one. All you really need is the lense

Yeah the rest can be built with cardboard and 2*4's, and duct tape LOL.

Thanks for the insight RED GREEN.

. Gotta love the duct tape. That would actually be cool to see. A camera built with 2 * 4's and duct tape. Kind of like a bazooka for pictures.

Hehehe ya. And split your profit with others (IE: Me). Knowing people, it's already been done. There's a lot of crafty people out there who have wanted to take pictures of an eclipse with a crummy camera.
