Lunar Eclipse Tonight



For those who may not be aware, this is just a quick heads-up that we're going to have an eclipse tonight. The good news is that we'll be able to see the entire eclipse from the KC area and the forecast tonight is mostly clear.

The bad news is that its going to happen pretty late at night (CDT) from about 2 am to about 3:30 am, with the greatest eclipse happening at about 2:45 am. So, if for some reason you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night tonight, it might be worth looking out the window.

Just looked through the whole eclipse archive from now through 2100. There will not be a "near-perfect" lunar eclipse visible from the midwest in that entire time period. (this one is actually one of the best ones we will ever see!)

I guess if I want to see one, I'd have to plan on travelling for the June 2029 near-perfect eclipse.

edit: wait a second, never mind, we'll actually be able to see that one in 2029! (weather permitting) It will just be low in the horizon.

I got about 1500 pics there are some fantastic ones. The clouds kinda helped even before the eclipse. Can't wait to get back and download them.

Really looking forward to seeing yours. Was completely clear here, but way too much light pollution. Didn't think to apply for a permit as I didn't realize all the state/county/city parks around here closed an hour after sunset.

Those are some great pictures.

Thanks. Better than I'd expected.

I'll admit I sorta feel like I cheated. Used a tablet with live view to control the camera and minimize the spine contortions of bending down to look up. Saved me so much time and effort. I was able to try so many different configurations at the push of a button that I felt like I was brute forcing the pictures.

This is the best I could do with a 200mm kit lens in the middle of the city.

Thanks, Dave.

Maybe when I have a 300mm in October, I'll get a better shot. Might help to not try and shoot it over my roof next to a hospital, too lol

I need to find a field out in the middle of nowhere.
