Total lunar eclipse from early this morning!

Just thought I'd share!

Here are 6 shots from early this morning, representative of the lunar eclipse that I saw. Hard to make pictures of the moon exciting

Oh, and if you're on the forum, stock-looking Silver '08 e90 M3 was there to watch as well. You also drove freaking 90mph on the 13, zooming up and tailgate me and other cars for a bit and zooming off again, not too bright with the cars leaving the area with families and such. Please drive safely next time..

1) Early morning...somewhere around 4:00am I believe. Still a hazy out but was definitely clearer than earlier. Nice and fresh.

2) Sky cleared up! The beginning of the eclipse...~4:50am. Feeling good.

3) Getting there, getting there...~5:20am I think.

4) Could this take any longer? Freezing my ass off by this time.

5) Almost there! Almost to the end zone.

6) TOUCHDOWN! We have totality! ~6:08am. Now that that's done, time to sleep :P.

Cool pics of the eclipse, didn't see it myself.

Thanks everyone! It's too hard to stay awake these days, but I managed.
As for my lens, I stacked a 1.4x teleconverter with a 2x teleconverter with a 300mm with a 1D series (1.3x crop) camera. I forgot to ask my gf for her 7D to get the tad bit extra zoom.
