Lunar eclipse tonight...


Anyone plan on watching it?  So far the sky's in Edmonton are clear.  Our fingers are crossed.  We told our kids we'd wake them if things were visible...

Too bad. (I'm just about to go on a photography forum to see if the lads have any tips for taking photo's.)

We just walked the dogs, 12:20 am Toronto time, clear as a bell and cold, nice full moon. We are on standby.

From the photo forum...

"Eclipses are a metering nightmare for me!  Most of the time the moon comes out looking like a bright baseball because people underestimate how bright a full moon really is. Right now, before the eclipse, Im at 1/125 at f8, ISO 100 on my DA 50-200 (the lens I have with the longest reach)."

Just opened the front door and peeked out. No hope here. Nothing but a little snowdrift for new sights to see!

No snow here; they're still golfing on green grass around here. But the skies are overcast/foggy tonight so I won't get to see this once in 400+ years event.

The clouds here were high and thin enough to see it right through them. Made for a unique viewing.

Y'know, wouldn't it really suck if you went back in time and were gonna exploit an eclipse to name yourself an all powerful magician ... only to have it clouded out?
