It takes a long ass exposure to capture stars on camera, and the moon is pretty bright even at totality. I bet this is a composite.

I also took about fifty other pictures on ten different shutter speeds before I figured out it was always going to look blurry unless I telescoped down my tripod so it was sturdier. We'll see if I remember that come time for the next eclipse in 2010. Yup, I got lucky.

I got to see the start of it, but when I returned with my camera, there was nothing but cloud cover, and I ended up missing the whole damn thing. :( Lucky.
