lunar eclipse month!

Hey Everyone! This month we'll be having a fantastic lunar eclipse!! (sorry Africa and Europe neighbors, this is an Asia and Americas event only). On August 28th, a couple hours after midnight (PDT), the moon will go from its mundane grey to being a vivid rouge for about ninety minutes. I'm going to try and put together a trip out of Los Angeles, to a place where the sight will be more dazzling. If you want to find out where and when you should be outside to see the eclipse, and how much of it you will be able to see, check out this link.
Here's a majestic tri-exposure photo of March's eclipse:
