Be sure to check out the moon tonight… the eclipse has already begun.
TEWe’re watching it too!
totality at 9:01
mid-totality 9:27
ends at 9:52
next total eclipse December 2010.I was just looking at it too. I remember setting up a telescope n the front yard to look at a lunar eclipse when I was a kid. Kinda cool as it is a memory that I forgot all about until tonight.
Saw it starting when we left the event in Depere and saw it almost totally eclipsed when we got home. Took some neat pictures. What a great clear night for looking at the night sky!
Out doing chores under the eclipse. Remember sledding as a kid on our big hill down to the lake, then laying on the lake watching the receding moon, and hearing the ice shift and groan and crack through the snow. Then back up the hill just to have our breath taken away from the sheer thrill of the speed back down. Back to the lake to watch some more….
The horses thought it was wierd when I laid down in the pasture tonight to watch the moon. “Mom, are you dead? Were you bringing hay, or are you dead?” Only the sounds of the cold snow under their hooves tonight. Good. Didn’t want to fall through anything before I threw hay!
Window view just ain’t the same as the front row seat! 😉
I photographed the entire event last night, in progression. I did it with our 35mm camera though, so it will be a week or so before I can post the pics. Hope the long exposurs turned out good. It’s been a long time since I set that camera up.
