My prayer for a clear sky last night was answered. The
lunar eclipse was all I could have wanted. Through my tripod mounted
Nikon 10x70 binocular, the moon at totality appeared to be a big peach colored beach ball and it was exquisitely sharp in the Nikon, though I am sure that any
binocular would have enhanced the already impressive view. The color during this eclipse wasn't as red as some I have seen, but it was quite lovely against a backdrop of my snow covered yard and patio. I had no complaints. This was one I will remember.
