Canon EOS 20Da, 0.5 sec, ISO 3200, prime focus of Meade 2045 LX3, 102mm f10 SCT, mounted on homemade equatorial wedge and tripod.

Description:

The forecast held little hope but the skies cleared shortly before totality. I rushed to set up my equipment on the icy walkway off the kitchen porch. I bracketed my shots and this one of totality looked best. Naked eye the moon was a dark red-brown with Saturn and the neighboring stars of Leo very bright. Altitude of Moon is 53° 16.68'.
