Total Lunar Eclipse tonight (Aug 27/28)

[Dan.]

Saw a little bit of the upper left corner get covered, but it's by and large too cloudy in Chicago's north 'burbs to see anything.

There are a ton of web casts available on the net if you are unable to view due to clouds/daylight, but it probably isn't nearly as cool.

Here is one I found (I could only get it to work with IE, not firefox)

Central, MA is too [censored] cloudy

I set mine on manual with a tripod and half second exposure. The pics don't look that good. I don't have a very long lens to its hard to get close up / get good focus.

Just went out, and it's really clear here, but I guess I missed it. The undead are thick here tonight though. Consider yourself lucky.

You haven't missed it. The moon is almost completely covered right now. Totality is just now hitting.

[Klompy]

Cool, thanks, when I looked earlier I figured the moon was on it's way back into the light.

[TheNoodleMan]

Sigh, I got just a brief glimpse of it completely in shadow before it ducked behind the trees. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'm too tired / afraid of zombies to walk down to the cemetery. Definitely cool while I was able to see it though.

Turns out that I can see it from my roof.

Good news: No Zombies.

Bad News: I'm lurking on my roof at 5am with a flashlight and a camera. I sure hope none of my neighbors see me and think I'm doing something creepy.

You're always doing something creepy.
