Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight, Dec 20/21

[Green_Lantern]

FYI...This the first total lunar eclipse on the winter solstice in 372 years.

Is this a bad thing?

No...It just happens to be the last time this has happened on this particular unique day of the year.

Here are a few silly photos I took.

Saw it! in between two clouds downtown! It's like a glass ball inside a circle. Fun!

Nice job, Lentium!

What am I seeing in the 5th pic? Is the moon exploding?

Those look awesome btw. We got two feet of snow last night so visibility was zero.

 

[Paradox]

Those are awesome shots. Thank you for sharing.

I just thought it looked neat.


Thx for the compliments, my peeps.

Ugh, none of my shots of the moon in total eclipse came out. Got some cool ones of the shadow crawling across the full moon though.

 

[Bretimus_v2]

It looks freaking amazing. Wish I could've caught it.

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

[Lentium]

Great shot, used.

 

[used44]

Thx, but yours are much better.

wow, what camera did you guys use? The only thing I was able to capture was a blurry small white dot I've never seen the moon with the red glow before in person, so it was definitely eery. Nice pics, guys.

I've got a Canon Rebel xTi with a 300mm telescopic lens. It was still incredibly difficult, as I've only tried skyshooting a few times prior. Like I said, the moon in full penumbra was hard to shoot and all my pics of that came out blurry.

Also, I live in Alaska and it was -10°F that night, so screw standing outside for too long.

Thanks to the usual overcast skies in Oregon I missed the lunar eclipse. I couldn't see shit.

Geez, it was only around 50°F that night where I live in California and I thought that was cold. XD

I got super baked and missed it. Maybe next time.

I would've thought someone would post this, I guess not...
