This may be the last straw. I had to watch a webcast of the transit of
Venus from Sweden, now, if Maryland weather doesn't improve (thank you
for abrogating the Kyoto Agreement, Dubya), I'll be watching the
eclipse from Norway. Why don't I just move to Scandinavia!? Long, cold
winters, that's why! Elsewise I'd be there in a New York minute!

From the misery loves company department: My homage to the 21, January
2000, lunar eclipse.

Yes, I feel your pain, and yes, my pain from the frostbite did
eventually go away.

BTW, Norway is a lovely country, but I happen to love cold weather,
Bergens fiskesuppe and Kvitsøyball.

And you really haven't lived until you've dined on Herring
Burgers....Yum!

Good luck with the webcast, there's a better than even chance I'll be
parking my IP there.

Given the description of the conditions when the images were made,
I'd say you meet the criteria for being a gung-ho amateur!
