Moon Eclipse

I took this shot at about 2:50 AM just before total eclipse using a digital canon rebel with a 300mm lens at 0.3 sec shutter speed.

The moon was basically a sliver but the exposure shows detail of the darkened region.

Nice picture ViP!

I personally was unable to view the eclipse, due to Uber getting his 5 hours a night sleep. Here is some pictures from one of the users out here from work. Wish I could have seen it.

Nice Pic's guys, I didn't take any pic's (my digital does not allow shutter speed control) but what I did find interesting here in AK the moon was completly blackened as the earth covered it. Using 10x50 binoculars I could not see what you guys saw as far as still being able to see the crators etc.

The moon was set about 30-35 degrees off the horizon to the SE, maybe it was the angle of the dangle lol

Very nice pic, Viper!
As an amature astronomer, I'm ashamed that I didn't get up and take some shots.

As you may know, I have a couple sweet scopes...

:smack:
There will be a total SOLAR eclipse visible in North America in the year 2017. That is REAL astronomy!

Can't wait.

I WAS SOUND ASLEEP AND THINK THESE PHOTOS WERE ALL DOCTORED!

An eclipse is just another governmental conspiracy like walking on the moon and only one shooter in Dallas.

Seriously, guys.................good shots and I'm sorry I missed it, but I figured it would happen with or without me.
