Father's Day weekend in the Seattle region brought a good amount of sunshine (YAY, FINALLY!!) and I took advantage of the weather to paint the observatory. I made very good progress but there still is work left to do - you can see the top panels are still bare and should be red, along with some of the trim. The observatory was painted to match the outbuilding and the house.








Despite a forecast of mostly cloudy skies, the February 20, 2008 total lunar eclipse was not a disappointment! The skies were crystal clear (though everything dewed up real fast) and the eclipse was as spectacular as any I'd seen before. This is just one of many photos I was able to get during the eclipse. At lower left is the planet Saturn. Canon EOS20D
