Re: [APML] Lunar Eclipse

Nice pictures.  Unfortunately we in the Seattle/Tacoma area generally had
clouds from the zenith down to the eastern horizion.  Western half of the
sky was somewhat clear. :(  At least from Federal Way.  Maybe the next one.
A friend in Iowa was able to view it, and they had a rainy forcast which did
not happen.
