The eclipse this morning before dawn was pretty cool to see. It was really red. Is it Mars I'm seeing in the East right before sunrise???:confused:

I think it is, but I'd have to look it up to be sure...

I tried to get one on my way in, but doubt I held the cam still enough for the 15 second shutter speed....

Dare I admit I was still lazing around in bed when this was going on? Usually I'm up early but I've been at a dead run for the last 4 or 5 days and I'm running out of steam.....have to go to STL today and that always makes me a little crabby.....and certainly will wear me out even more... I can't imagine living in a city ......
