On January 20 there was a total lunar eclipse.  It went down in history as a super blood wolf moon according to those in the know.  I just know it was a sight to behold.

The forecast a few days prior to the event was for a cloudy evening.  That changed and the night was clear.  Some wispy cloud came over but it was gone by the time the eclipse began at about 8:33pm mountain time.

I was supposed to be in bed early because I had the early shift at work but who can sleep when there is a spectacular celestial event happening outside the bedroom window. 

I managed to get some photos at 10-15 minute intervals until the moon was totally covered and red/orange in color.  What a beautiful sight.  I didn't stay up to watch the second half but was ecstatic to be able to witness the first.
