[Chaos-l] Fwd: Total lunar eclipse session?

[BOBI GALLAGHER]

I started watching around 4:30 in front of my house, with a poor Western 
view.  Then migrated to a Starbucks, which opened at 5:30 for the last 15 
minutes before it disappeared. I used my 15x70 binocs. It was kind of neat, 
because the light in the parking lot was not really an issue, and some of 
the straggling few folks blundering by on their way to work were interested. 
Plus the baristas were interested. So, astronomy outreach !!
