Observation (12/20-21/2010)

I observed the lunar eclipse from my driveway in Osprey between the night of the 20th and the morning of the 21st. The skies were clear and I was able to see the full moon. I would often go out every half hour starting at 1 am to see the shadow fall on the moon. As the shadow got bigger and bigger and covered more of the moon, it started to turn a orange/reddish color. Around 3 am, we were able to see the total lunar eclipse in the west.
