A pre-dawn collab with the Moon and the Seven Sisters
Felton Davis of the Second Avenue Star Watchers shared this dispatch early this morning...
Waning crescent Moon and very close by, the Pleiades in the constellation Taurus, high over East Third Street at 4 a.m. on Wednesday.All Seven Sisters could clearly be seen, especially if you blocked the glare from the Moon, but only three of them showed up in the photos.

Did you catch the Beaver Blood Moon lunar eclipse early this morning?
EVG reader Jeanne Krier shared this photo from an EV rooftop early this morning.
What was happening?
Per Space.com:
The last total lunar eclipse until 2025 will turn the moon blood-red on Tuesday, Nov. 8, but exactly when you should look up depends on where you are. The eclipse, dubbed the Beaver Blood Moon lunar eclipse since it occurs during November's Full Beaver Moon, will be visible across North America, the Pacific, Australia and Asia.During the eclipse, the full moon will pass through Earth's shadow as it moves behind our planet with respect to the sun, giving it a spectacular bloody color in the process.
Our friend Roger Clark at NY1 got a nice clip...

The longest partial moon eclipse in 580 years as seen from 2nd Avenue
As Space.com reported:
The full Beaver Moon of November 2021 passed through Earth's shadow in a partial lunar eclipse overnight on Nov. 18-19 in what was the longest eclipse of its kind in 580 years.And this was obviously a big event for Felton Davis of the Second Avenue Star Watchers.
He reports that the event here was almost rained out (ed note: stupid rain):
After a long, cold and drizzly night, the clouds over 2nd Avenue finally parted, revealing a slow eclipse of the Moon that was already in progress. Three or four times from 3:15 to 4:30 a.m., the Moon disappeared behind the clouds, and came back out, and each time I had to reset the (icy cold!) telescope ... and take a few photos.And props to Amy for coming out and helping Felton get the telescope back inside.

Moon struck
Well, we didn't get to enjoy the full-on effects of the Super Flower Blood Moon like in other parts of the world ... but the moon was pretty super last night.

Liquid moon
Goggla shared this photo from Tompkins Square Park... as the moon rose tonight, heat waves from a chimney made it look like it was made of liquid.
There is video too...
