Hi Stan, I'm glad that you had the chance to see this. And, of course, thank you for your comments. They are appreciated, as always.
Actually, taking this was more a matter of getting up early. Um, real early, then driving for over an hour. If I had looked at my calendar, I would have known what the moon was doing. But I hadn't looked, so it was a surprisingly nice morning for catching this. (I got about an inch of mud caked on my boots too. Yeah, that was fun...)
My ongoing best regards,
Ed
