Spectacular Skygazing Opportunity

If the weather cooperates, a total lunar eclipse will be seen across North America late Thursday - the first visible in the United States in three years - and just before dawn Friday in western Europe and western and southern Africa.

In North America, the moon will remain totally eclipsed for 53 minutes, and should turn substantially darker and reddish in color.

The total eclipse will start at 8:13 PDT in Los Angeles, 11:13 p.m. EDT in New York.

A second lunar eclipse, on Nov. 8, will be visible from North and South America.

ACK!!!!!


In American culture vass, the honeymoon is the evening of the wedding day

11:13 here... I hope I remember to stay up, and it's not too cloudy!

The effects will start around 10 est, then peak right after 11, and slide back to normal as we approach midnight.

I am hoping the clouds will vanish, as I am assembling my telescope and charging the digital camera right now.

I'll be zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I hope you can get some pictures Rob. The clouds are rolling in here and it's supposed to rain all night. What kind of camera do you have?

An older RCA digital, not the best, but it should surfice if I can get a clear shot.

The clouds are starting to build in from the gulf, so I may be running out of luck.
