Lunar eclipse in Austin

Another lunar eclipse here in Austin TX this past Feb 20. Fortunately the powers that be scheduled this one at a decent hour and not at 3:30 am.

I was talking to my dad on the phone at the time so I walked outside and looked for the moon. Unfortunately we had a very low ceiling and I couldn't even find a single star. Horizon to horizon the sky was total mist and cloud.

Very disappointing. Celestial events are rare and awesome, and I feel deprived of a lifetime experience.

Kasey our border collie - my moon-gazing soul mate - once again failed to notice.
