Lunar Eclipse Tonight
 

Look outside If you wanna catch it..for some of you..

Too cloudy here..sucks..I like them

Freeing the demons......

That's convenient, I can look right out my front door and see it.

Reminds me of that night with Debbie Knorr back in 1970.

I just saw it and noticed it looked eclipsey.... very clear here...

pretty cool

i see it perfectly here in South FL .. it's just about full too .. It is beautiful

ya now its full in a clear sky... some people think its dangerous for the eyes to watch an eclipse... actually its the shadow of the Earth on the moon, it's not like a sun eclipse...

I have a perfect view as well. Cold clear night. I tried to take pictures but those seem to never work out with a simple digital camera.

post your eclipse piccies! i only have one before clouds rolled in

It's more than halfway through here.

I went out after my original post to take a pic but the clouds moved in.

New at this?

Those are kind of cool

Cool pics!

Earlier I rolled the chair back here in the office and watched it through the skylight.

Very clear here in Niagara. Even caught a glimpse of Saturn.

ironically it was too cloudy here in sunny Phoenix to see much...

I took a bunch but I'm too cold and tired to go through them now.
Here's a sample:

Got any experiences for those of us that were born after 1970?

What camera/lens combo where you using for those? Great pics.

Total eclipse of the stuffing?

You can try using the FOIA, but I am bound to secrecy for 35 years usually.

Had a nice view here in central Florida so I tried to snap a few.

I watched it. Great view down here in the South. I totally nerded it up and even got my telescope out.

Nerdy chicks are hot. Do you wear glasses?

No.

My mom was always half blind w/out contacts, but fortunately I inherited my dad's 20/20 vision.

Damn I missed it coz it rained last night!

Of course 5 minutes before I go outside to take pics of the eclipse, I realize that I left my telephoto lens in my apartment in Mexico. So I had to us my 24-75mm and blow up the pics a tad. I wish I could've gotten more detail on the moon, but oh well...it'll just have to wait til the next total lunar eclipse in December 2010. :Oh crap But here's some of what I got:

Those are some GREAT shots.

I feel like a total dumbass because I didn't even attempt to take any pics. If anybody asks me tomorrow what it looked like, I'm sending them yours. :1orglaugh

i saw it but the lights from buildings kind of dulled out out.
but yeah solar is a lot more fun :)

some sweet pix people!

Nice pix.

Was watching it out here with the astronomical binoculars and telescope... and all was going great until about t minus 5 minutes to Total Eclipse, and then the clouds moved in - to stay. :(

Cool looking pictures

I agree.

A few years ago I was out surfing in Tamarindo Costa Rica during a solar eclipse which was pretty
surreal in its self and it was followed by the most spectacular sunset I've ever witnessed. A vivid kaleidoscope of
color that spanned the entire sky and was reflecting off the water and the wet sand of the beach. It's hard to describe
but as the sun continued to set the colors seemed to pulsate as the light changed. I've spent my entire life on or near the beach
and I've never seen a sunset quite like this one. With my surfboard under my arm I just stood there in awe
as I experienced a purely magical day in nature.

I missed it. :(

I attended the solar eclipse a few years ago, though. I will NEVER go to a city to watch such an event.
Should have gone to a field in the open with no people around. Stupid!

Sweet fucking pic. I'm so bummed, we had total cloud cover in Phoenix last night, so I missed the whole thing. :(

very cool !!! :thumbsup

Wow, those are some amazing pics! I really need to practice more.
I just can't get as crisp of a focus as I'd like :(

Anyway, here's a few more from my collection last night:
