Beautiful clear evening. Moon as big as a dinner plate. Set Oly E-500 on a
very sturdy tripod. Mounted old 500mm Maksutov catadioptric lens on camera
(T mount to Olympus OM mount to OM to 4/3 mount) giving he equivalent of a
1000mm lens on a 35mm frame. Test exposures perfect. Sat in comfortable
chair with a glass of wine waiting for the eclipse. Clouds rolled in at
midnight. Moon a fuzzy blob. Went to bed. No joy. Clouds rolled out at 6
a.m. Clear morning. Damn. Guess I'll have to wait another 97 years.
