Description
A Total Lunar Eclipse on the Winter Solstice.Taken from Austin, TX at 1:49am CST.
A broken cloud layer hampered visibility and reduced contrast and sharpness, but the blood-red color still shows through the clouds.

SImply amazing... I think no words can describe the ability to use camera so to catch such moments.

You're lucky you had a chance to see it. We had a really cloudy night in CA.

It's funny but every time I get a little bored with my desktop background... you provide a new one!
The previous two were Phases and the Leonid meteor

I used a Gitzo carbon-fiber tripod with a Wimberly head. To shoot straight up I had to extend one leg 2 feet farther than the others and balance it with my hand.
I used the flip-back viewer on the 60d to great effect. I shot in "Live mode" which locks the mirror up, and meant I didn't have to squat under the tripod and balance it at the same time.

I'm so mad it was cloudy here! I live in central KY and we had a snow storm all night so you couldn't see anything in the sky :[
