OK, it's not Voom related but it is the ultimate HD experience. From 7-8 pm PST tonight, there will be a full lunar eclipse, so get your butt off the couch and cast a glimpse to the sky and check it out.

Taking shots with my sony handycam, will burn to dvd ram, convert and post sometime... last time was in local mountains in Jan...camped out we had a fire going and let it burn down for the main event... was in 30's but it was worth it back to the eclipse btw moon at about 10 O'clock high about 60 slightly breezy... optimum viewing

I live in the country, there are some residence's to the east (and everyone that moves to the country around here has to buy one of those infernal lights) but the pollution is not that bad... started to stay at my camp one more night...(deer season the last 5 days) for the eclipse and will try to post later, have to transfer to dvd recorder, then to pc, use power dvd to take screen shots then shrink to fit back outside...
and will try to post later, have to transfer to dvd recorder, then to pc, use power dvd to take screen shots then shrink to fit back outside...I recorded some footage as well, but I don't think it will turn out very well (hand held). We had crystal clear skies, the only night in a 2 week stretch (thank God). I had my daughter and we had a blast watching it. She was at soccer practice at 6 PM and at 6:10 the moon finally cleared the horizon and a bite had already been taken out of the moon. All the girls stopped practicing for about 5 minutes to look at it, pretty cool.
I couldn't find my tripod, mine were hand held... when I transfered to Dvd-ram and watched they were pretty blurry and grainy. (sony Hi8mm)will search through and try to post here if I find any that are good enough. (missed the first part of it also)
I have a Sony Digital 8 and most of it was shot in the digital zoom mode so they will probably turn out grainy. This weekend I'll port it over to the PC and see how it looks. I also have a memory stick in the camera and took quite a few snapshots as I was filming. If I can find any decent ones, I'll post them.
Here are a couple of terrible shots about :37 after the hour (10edt)maybe too small...removed these for next ones...
