I'm excited about this and I'm reminded of an old nautical saying.
Red moon at night, sailors delight. Red moon at noon, sailors dead soon. FAX |

Telescope for the moon is difficult. You need to be able to screen out a lot of the light coming through the scope, it can be pretty intense. |

Sounds like you wont really NEED a telescope, it should be pretty clear and easy to see unless you got some cloud cover. Last 2 times we have clouds or fog. Not everyone shares an appreciation for natural wonders/beauty. Do I have to give up my man-card for saying that???

Telescopes only help when you can see the moon. Looking at the moon when the eclipse is complete will be a disappointment.

It's great we don't live in Medieval times. The Masses might think this is some sign from "God" and start molesting virgins...
Damn, that's not a bad idea ![]() |
