Blood Moon Fail #SkywatchFriday

Weather is not the friend of someone wanting to see celestial events, especially if you live in the Southern Tier of New York.  And, it's the winter.

I've been clouded out of meteor showers, eclipses of the moon, and even a total eclipse of the sun. 

So, March 3 around 6:33 am, there was a blood moon, a total eclipse of the moon that was setting as totality began, and a sunrise, all at the same time.  A once in a life time event.  

For some people, anyway.  Here, the sky was (surprise) white.  But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Afternoon of March 2.  Looks promising, doesn't it?

"Enjoy your clear sky while you can", the sky seemed to say.  "You know what's going to happen next, don't you?"

That night...yes, there come the clouds. 

The almost full moon is the big white dot.  The small blue dot is an iPhone thing and you can ignore it.

It was darker than it looks.  I had to leave my porch light on because I have poor night vision.  I somehow knew that the following morning would be an epic fail.
At least I got some good sky pictures and some fresh air. 

I hope someone from #SkywatchFriday, brought to us each week by Yogi, was able to take some pictures.

Did you get to see it?
