New "oldest star" discovered and it is in our backyard!

It Is in the Milky Way and Is 400 Million Years Older Than the Previously Identified 'Oldest' Star.

Lunar eclipse pics

I captured these lunar eclipse photos with our Nikon D40X. I used a tripod, set the camera for night mode, and used manual focus. The camera was set at high quality (10 mp) and these images have been resized/blown up in Photoshop Elements. I did not use the "standard" lens but a low end telephoto lens and will update with the actual lens details later.

Almost forgot! Lunar eclipse tonight

At least here in the south east. It is supposed to run from 1o:00pm (ish) to about 11:59pm (ish).

I know the chart says Feb 21 but for us on the east coast, it is the night of the 20th. Don't miss it!
