Lunar Eclipse...tonight

[BBA]

There is a complete lunar eclipse happenning tonight. Starting at about 8:45, those with telescopes can see the hue going over the moon, the total eclipse will start at about 10:30 or so and last until about 12:30


(All times EDT, so it's accurate if your in the Eastern time zone in the southern regions of the US.)

I'm hoping the cloud cover from the impending storm doesn't hide it from Utah...

[MDS]

nothing but clouds here and rain. BTW Mntsnow they are calling for some snow flurries here this weekend. :)

[BBA]

Well...I got some good pictures with my telescope, so I'll post a few here after resizing.

I watched it with light cloudcover, not bad. :D

[Shyguy]

We've had moderate to heavy clouds all day today, so i guess I miss out on that!:(

Would have liked to see it in person, but Nooooo, damn Minnesota Weather, can be sunny & warm one hour & freezing & snowing the next.

[ThRoNkA]

I couldnt see it because it was raining and cloudy :(
And felisha was bugging me as I was writing my synopsis on our telecom closet :P

[Mntsnow]

Yes thank you BBA.....It was light rain and totally overcast with clouds here in Utah so I personally didnt get to see it :(

MDS, We have actually gotten enough snow here in the mountains (15 mins from my house) that two of the ski resorts are actually opening this weekend!

We saw it from our yard with the aid of my ancient 60x telescope, and it was a spectacle alright.

BBA: Nice pics indeed.

[caddmannq]

BTW, are those pics reversed? Or is my memory slipping...

[BBA]

Your the only one that noticed...most telescopes invert left to right, such as the pictures I took.

I could have corrected them, but I would bet most of the pictures you see anywhere of stellar objects are left-right inverted.
