The moon right now has a huge halo around it. I live on the east coast and this is what I am seeing. I presume this is related to the lunar eclipse tonight?

sandwedge Goldmember  More info | Dec 10, 2011 09:05 | #9 Awesome, Fricks. I had no idea that there was going to be an eclipse. I got up to take moonset shots and as I was setting up I was like " Holy sh*t! There's an eclise!"  http://www.flickr.com/photos/63710159@N07/

sandwedge Goldmember More info | Dec 10, 2011 09:24 | #11 You don't like it like that? I know the image itself isn't spectacular. Also it's majorly cropped at 250mm. I like shots like that, and am looking forward to getting a 400mm lens and possibly a tc so I can REALLY make it look big. http://www.flickr.com/photos/63710159@N07/
