This felt pretty good. I spent quite a bit of time with the Photopills App and a camera in the daylight to see if it was even possible to get the Core of the Milky Way and the Lunar Eclipse in the same image. The data said it was, but I was not certain how visible the Core would be, even though the Full Eclipsed Moon is not too bright. So, a 3 a.m. alarm and a 30 minute drive from Bozeman, MT on March 3rd, I found myself here, with hooting Great-Horned Owls on one side and 3 or 4 Coyotes singing their little hearts out on the other.Â
