Total Lunar Eclipse Expected Saturday
 

LONDON (AP) -- The moon will turn shades of amber and crimson Saturday night as it passes behind the Earth's shadow in the first total lunar eclipse in three years.
The eclipse will be at least partly visible from Asia to the Americas, although those in Europe, Africa and the Middle East will have the best view.

Yes at long last I can spy on that sexy neighbour and have my excuse ready. :shifty: ;) :lol:

:rotfl:

Now this is a real sign that Silent Hunter IV has gone "Gold" :up:

I'm heading out with my binoculars!! :know:

I'[m getting out of the town and will be taking photos

Using my Fuji S5600 so should be good. Will post them here even if they aren't the greatest

I am a virgin at this.

Same project, but too much clouds over me.
When the next one?
Will I have another chance?

Overcast on the eastern great lakes.

Bummer.

this happens everytime ive only seen two in 43 years.
Never seen a solar eclipse either.
MM:shifty:

Nice and clear here it's half way now.

'Out here' [with no light pollution], clear sky, three quarters full and turning a dull red .. a truly fantastical magical experience :up:

10:49 and we have it, slight hint of white and a lot of dull red. :D :D :D :D :D

WOW, don't you just like the wonder of the night sky. :up: :rock:

Kpt. Munson and I saw it anyone else saw it?

Still too early here. 1610 LT.

Well, it's past its maximum now. (and that's at the same time for everyone, unlike solar eclipses)

Really nice, red with a bit of white, clearly visible, good view with 7x50 binoculars. It was cloudy, but the area around the moon was clear around the time of the maximum.

Yeah lovely clear night here too

Cool sight
Beats a solar eclipse anyday
Then I prefer the moon :up:
