A bit late but this is my lunar eclipse photo from the 9ther night! Took me about 30 minutes to hold my phone steady enough to capture this through my backpack travel 'scope. The kiddo enjoyed getting up at 2:30 am for the view too!

It's a good thing I checked my supplies because I'm really short on some of the stickers. I have an activity where we use stickers of the Orion Nebula created by @livwithoutlimit.bsky.social to show the importance of using different wavelength observations.
