Total Lunar Eclipse on the Winter Solstice

These are all straight out of the camera shots (SOOTC), stamped with my ©. The forecast called for clouds and showers that night. I was lucky to get a few shots between passing clouds.

 Figuring the settings for the shot.

 Still figuring...

 The eclipse begins, and the haze rolls in...

Camera shook by wind? My shivering?

I set up the tripod so that one of the legs was touching the stool I was sitting on. It started to get very cold. Shivering cold.

My equipment:
Nikon D60.
Flimsy tripod.
Ikea foot stool to sit on.

To stay warm:
Land's End long down coat.
A steaming cup of hot water.
