Lunar Eclipse Photos Here...

[Mike Teacher]

I know there's a thread on the eclipse but I got out the telescope and my digital came and came up with some surprising results:

The Bite Begins!!!!

Taken at 7:02pm my Mizzle the Tizzle; 4.25 inch newtonian reflector; eyepiece projection.

I will try to update...

Interesting mike, because the way I see the moon, it is cutting away the opposite side.

And I have my camera on 1 minute intervals, but It's being an asshole and not capturing the cut away

I imagine Mike's photos are coming out upside down and flipped because he's taking them through a scope?

[SatCam]

ok yea I guess so. "newtonian reflector"... does that have anything to do with it?

And I moved my camera to a better location in hopes of better results

Following both taken at 7:32. Top shows eclipse. Copernicus visible near top [big crater]. Bottom is taken with 'moon' part out of the telescope field, letting the shadow reveal colors from light refracted around the earth, showing the 'Maria' or Seas, and damned if it aint red...

I went outside and got some really nice close up photos with my 700x zoom. But, due to the lack of a firewire connection, if I do post them, they will be really bad quality

Ok; I flipped this so it now appears as it would naked eye. The huge, young impact crater Copernicus is around the 6 o'clock position; you can see the 'ejecta' the radiating lines going 'up' in this photo from when something huge hit the moon there; all those lines are debris.

You can also now see the Oceans of the Moon.
Some can make out a face here; I see a rabbit. See? Right below 12 o'clock would be is the head, and the two ears going down and to the right, and you can sorta make out a standing bunny body with the rest.

It's very near totality so the umbral light is very visible. Most of the light lighting up the 'dark part' is light that is being bent by the atmosphere of the earth as it passes around it, and projected onto the moon.

Well, no pics, but I did sit outside with my dinner, drinks and roommates and we all barked at the moon.

I saw it from the beach here. It was very cool. Nice clear night. Cold as fuck though.

Thanks to Reefdwella for the great Sig Pic.

I watched it tonight in my car with my girl and the heater blaring. It was a great thing to see.

I watched this eclipse for an hour and a half in the freezing cold with bronchitis. It was worth it though. It looked really weird through my binoculars. I'm too po' to afford a telescope.
I think it looked better through the naked eye.

See Ya!

[Mike Teacher]

I think it looked better through the naked eye.


me too! The camera gives nowhere near the colors that the eye can see.

[Bill From Yorktown]

great pics Mizzle; mine are poor as I just used the zoom on my digital camera - btw did anyone else notice that it didnt seem to go "all red" even at the height of the eclipse, but there seemed to be a hint of the lighter color on the southern side?

[Bill From Yorktown]

doing a search to see if anyone took any of those muti-exposure shots of the eclipse last night - found these 2 cool sets of pictures of the moon occluding saturn - gives you a real idea of the visual size difference of those two:

and here

too cool.
here's another one - composit of the moon going thru it's phases - you can actually see the moon wobble

one last thing - for those who missed it, there's another one coming up in May. Hopefully it will be a little warmer then :-)

I noticed that too, I think that's because the eclipse doesnt align exactly, so there is never a perfectly "full" eclipse.

Nice Site! Yeah thats called Libration, thats the fancy science term. Why that? Beats me.

But it shows that the 'we only see one side of the moon' idea isn't quite right. We see more then 50% because of the wobble.

The earth also wobbles several different way, but one is like a spinning top. You know, the top itself is spinning really fast, but it's also, at the same time, tilted a bit and making slow circles. Well, the earth's circle takes thousands of years, but the North Star will not be the north star forever, sometime in the future in will be Vega, in Lyra. It's a nearby blue star, the one they were getting the signals from in Sagan's 'Contact'.

No wonder I feel motion sickness.

I hope no one got blinded by looking directly at it.

[TooCute]

Yeah thats called Libration, thats the fancy science term. Why that? Beats me.

From the latin stem librare, to balance. Like the astrological sign Libra, the balance.

Yea, someone already ate at the cheese on the moon. I think the peak is at 10:30 or something.

What an eerie night for "The Curse Of The Bambino" to be finally lifted...




ooooooooooooo



Yankee fans got too cocky this year. Now Boston will be yelling "Who's Yo Daddy?" Just look at that moon over New York. That's exactly what this is...
