For the folks in Florida, the eclipse is full-on (red) at 2:45-AM.

I just photographed it, but a tripod is needed to steady the camera.

A cool feature of "auto-focusing", is that a digital camera picks up many more stars than are normally visible. (Only for an instant—but it's a cool instant).

Because the sun is directly opposite the moon, the moonrise last evening was particularly brilliant.
