I tried to get a few pictures, but the school camera just wouldn't cooperate. The fucking thing thinks it's smarter than me; no shit there isn't enough light to meter properly, it's a full lunar eclipse! Even set on a 5.0 aperture (because for some reason it decided it didn't want to go down to 2.8) and 25 second exposure, it wouldn't take the picture when I pressed the button. I would have taken a few with my camera, but the low-light sensitivity isn't good enough, which is why I was trying the SLR in the first place.
I fucking hate technology.

Its interesting to me since I'm such an astronomy buff but what you can see with the naked eye just seems so mundane.
I looked out a bit when it was about about 1/4th, saw it at totality, and then, meh.
I'd have spent more time outside had it been warmer out, but it was quite cold and I wasn't motivated enough.

The 10°F weather didn't motivate any of us here to stay out for long, but at least we got to see Saturn. This is the first eclipse in my area with clear weather when I'm old enough to really enjoy it. Hopefully it will be a little warmer next time.
