Lunar Eclipse Watching...Skip Style
So last night was the lunar eclipse. I always love these for two reasons. 1st let me say, I am a very amature astronomer, but have 2 decent refracting telescopes with which to star gaze...Anyway I had both out last night one looking at the moon while it was shading and the other looking at the milky way that was getting brighter as the eclipse shadowed....Well my wife walks by the window and saw me out on the back deck sitting in a chair sitting there with a beer....and she started LHAO at me....I had been out there for an hour and had never bothered to put any clothes on....she still thinks my naked ways are strange....
Anyway...the moon turned almost blood red at about 10:25 when it was in full shadow and it was worth it...although I had no testicals left as it was about 50 degrees...so decided to go in...
