| Summary: Now
we know what it took to end the Curse of the Bambino: a
lunar eclipse. The Boston Red Sox won the World Series on Wednesday
night, Oct. 27, 2004, when the Moon glided through Earth's shadow and
turned a vivid shade of red.

Clouds
and haze threatened to spoil the event this morning (local time),
but moments before the total eclipse the sky cleared! Beautiful
moon, but darker than the last few eclipses I've seen. |

A full
copper moon creates an eiry post-Halloween feel for Wichita
Falls Texas. I was surprised at how many stars I could see during
totality (which is still going on as I write this) that I couldnt
see before totality. Canon Digital Rebel 100-1600 ASA, 4-10s.
600mm zoom and other at 50mm. |

eclipse. Photo details: FujiFilm FinePix A607 digital camera
