I comment here as little as possible these days, but I must applaud your lunar solstice eclipse image, Jerry. It is fantastic to see the Moon reduced to one more light in the sky instead of being absolutely overwhelming because of its brightness. It is also interesting that this image really brings out the small size of the Moon as seen from the Earth compared with the "size of the sky". Also, your image strongly suggests that the eclipsed Moon is much redder in color than famous "red" giant stars like Betelgeuse and Aldebaran. Admittedly it's hard to compare the color of an extended dark and faintly illuminated object like the Moon with brilliant point sources like stars.

Anyway, this is a fantastic image which doesn't resemble anything I've ever seen before!

The Moon...I thought that was Mars. Isn't it supposed to appear as large as the full moon?
