[Leica] who's going to photograph the lunar eclipse tonight?

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I got real good shots just now I was out there for almost an hour.
If anybody gets better shots than I just got I'll eat it.
Very red brown moon. A clear night here. Its 29 f out. Feels like 19 f.
300mm is not long enough. But will do in a pinch.
It was 450 with the crop body. But his sensor is way better even way
cropped.

A cab driver today was shooting with a 600 mirror lens on his D700 a few
blocks from B&H. I needed some light black.
He did not speak one word of English.  Not one single word.
Did not know what "moon" was. Nice guy though.
He handed me his D700 with 600 lens.
I shot a picture with it of a sky scraper.
He told me the lens, a Vivitar cost 129 bucks.
I may pick one up. How bad could it be?
For next millenniums full moon solstice eclipse. I'll come out of my time
capsule.

Well I'm going back out there there are part of me not fully frozen.
