Nice one, Howard, and I'm really impressed that an old guy like you could
get up that early.  <g>

However, I do have this question for you and the other mooners on the LUG:
Why are some of our shots of this event showing the moon in a yellowish
cast while others tend toward gray?  Is it because of what's in the air at
any particular location?  (I know we often get great sunsets here in
Oklahoma City because we are seeing the sun and clouds through dust that
has blown in from Texas.)
