Lunar eclipse tonight

Starts at 11:41p and finishes at 12:53a PST. Last time this coincided with winter solstice (December 21) was in 1638.

That said, I will be fast asleep.

thanks! I wanted to take an interval exposure with my new Nikon D200, but I have several hindrances:

A) I don't have a decent tripod
B) It's hella wet outside
C) I don't know how to set up an interval exposure with my new Nikon D200.

Plus I'll be asleep. Life of a workin' man.

Looks like it will finish just before I start work. I'll be looking but I don't know how much I will see with all of this overcast.
