Lunar Eclipse

[EvilDragon]

Some might know it, some not:
Yesterday, we had a lunar eclipse with a bloody moon

Axeman (yep, the one from the boards here) did take some nice pictures and I created some animation from them.

I watched it until it was fully eclipsed. Went to sleep after that so I missed the "blood" part, shame, I would've waited if I knew. Nice clip btw.

Thanks.

It was a long, cold night. Clouds almost spoilt it too, but I persisted, and got the series of shots I've been trying to get for about 5 years! Not like you get many chances, and virtually every Eclipse over the last few years has been a washout because of cloud.

We popped out at about 11.30PM to witness it, fortunately the moon was exposed most of the time.

edit: thanks for the link though, we were worried that we'd missed the good bit! Turns out nope, we didn't! Definitely Conan the barbarian weather!

I totally saw that, it was beautiful, cheers Axeman for the fab pics, and ED, when my GP2x comes through the post, that's SO going on there.

I took a couple of pictures but they're not great on account of my camera having a low optical zoom. I stood and watched it for a while, looked nice.

Thanks for the great photography, Axeman. I remember the August 1999 total solar eclipse, that was incredible. Ah how time flies

Unfortunately I got the tail-end of it here as it was still quite bright out to see the moon. Additionally, us north americans missed out on the beautiful colorings this time through

I'd like to visit a place that sees a total solar at some time in my life. I had a brilliant science teacher (brilliant to the point of being a little creepy) who literally traveled all over the globe to catch almost every solar eclipse that has happened- for almost 30 years!
