I got up several times last night to watch the lunar eclipse. At 2:00 there wasn't much to look at. By 3:00 it was starting to get interesting. By 4:00 it was excellent! We had crystal clear skies and a great view. It was cold, but no wind. Perfect.
It reminded me of watching the 2017 solar eclipse.
Without the soul crushing heat.
But with 20.
Oh dear. He really should get to see this eclipse as well.
I mean, how many sheep can claim to have seen both eclipses?
I probably couldn't have pulled it off at, say 11:00, but by 4:00 I was up for an adventure. I thought 20 was always up for an adventure as well, but he actually seemed a bit confused as to why I was putting his sweater on him in the wee hours of the morning. Once we got outside though, he was all in.
We sat out by the farm truck looking at the moon, taking some pictures with my phone and the big camera, talking about the solar eclipse and how the moon was different and why we could look right at it and I thanked him for being a good friend and a good sport about everything ;-).
Note: I did wake Saint Tim up to take a quick look, but he too seemed a bit confused as to why I was waking him up in the wee hours of the morning ;-D.
It was worth it.

I thought about it but it was 20 degrees here..not exactly sitting out weather! :)
We were under heavy, heavy snow clouds (it didn't snow), but still...around 4 o'clock the sky was even darker than when there is a new moon. It was very intersting.
I didn't even know there was a eclipse until I saw your post!
Mighty sporting of 20 to keep you company.
