Supermoon Lunar Eclipse

Last night was a pretty neat opportunity - we got to witness a complete lunar eclipse that occurred while the full moon was at it's closest point possible to the earth. That made it an eclipse of the Supermoon, which won't happen again until 2033.
We pulled out our telescopes to witness this event. And since the moon was already fully eclipsed by the time it rose over the mountain, we got to watch it come out of the eclipse and slowly get bigger and bigger.  I was even able to get a few pictures - although my camera doesn't do night shots very well.
