Lunar Eclipse for all on Feb 20-21

[laura_sebastianelli]

Well this is the first time I’ve posted an invitation, so I hope I am following any etiquette already established (Ray, feel free to delete this post, if I am out of line)…but here’s the idea…

I read that unlike a solar eclipse, that during a lunar eclipse, what we see (those of us on the moon-facing side of the earth), we see together! Gosh, all those pbasers focused on the same subject for hours! Care to share the results here? Even those with point and shoot cameras (like me) have a chance of capturing an interesting image just by aiming thru binoculars.

I suggest posting no more than one link to an image (using the same format as Thursday’s TITC), and if you really want to do more, then in your photo you could provide a link to your additional lunar eclipse photos (whether a gallery or other individual shots).

For more on the lunar eclipse, and photography tips, see Sky & Telescope. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observin ... wAll=y&c=y

“Observing prospects for Americans couldn't be better during February 20th's total lunar eclipse. In Europe and Africa, the eclipse occurs on the morning of the 21st…This means that on the West Coast and in Alaska and Hawaii, the eclipse will already be in progress when the Sun sets and the Moon rises on the evening of the 20th. Europe and West Africa see the eclipse high in the sky during the dark morning hours of the 21st, and in the rest of Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, the eclipse will still be under way when the Moon sets and the Sun rises on the 21st.â€

I thought I got one amazing shot with this one as a jet flew through my shot as I took it. I must have got excited though as I saw the jet approach, as this was the only picture I took tonight where the tripod didn't hold steady.


Here is my fav for the night. Without changing my settings I somehow picked up a bunch of other points of light besides Saturn and the Regulas star.

Anybody get any shots of the spy satellite being blown apart
by that ship launched rocket?

...I didn't think so.
