Upcoming Lunar Eclipse
For those interested - a full lunar eclipse is coming up on Sunday evening for most of us in the US! NASA has a dedicated site:

I had an alerts set on my phone in the time leading up to it (started one week out and will remind me closer to the eclipse).

Where I live, Sunday will be 100% cloud cover with 90% chance of rain.

Rain forecast for tomorrow has been upgraded now. 100%. It is raining right now. I think I will straighten my garage today. Work on the rental tomorrow.

I'm 3 hours south of Supe, same forecast.
My job today is to rewatch Clickspring building the Antikythera mechanism, just to keep it on a solar system theme.

We may get lucky and NOT get a marine layer tomorrow night.
I hope to get my camera set up for some shots. It'd be a Sony A9 w/Nikkor 300mm w/Nikon 2x extender. I still haven't sprung for that 500mm reflex lens yet.

I'm heading for Antarctica. I don't want to be here when the sun passes between the earth and the moon.
