1:52 am until 2:52 am when it will be fully covered and red

the cool thing is that it is also a FULL moon so will be well worth the viewing.

Anyone with kids may want to wake them up as it will probably be something that they dont get a chance to see again for years

red. should be a deep red.

I've seen partial eclipses before but not when the moon is full.

Wonder if the HGs will see it? I can imagine they might freak out a bit if they didnt expect it

the first time I saw an eclipse I didnt know that one was expected. For one microsecond I thought of Deep Impact/ Independance Day and all of those space threat movies LOL

okay total eclipse is only us west coasters I guess



if anyone is really interested in a cool view. i like to watch the earth and moon from the various satellites in orbit.

I ahve no idea if anyone here knows this site but you can watch the eclipse Minute by minute by updating the satellite feeds.

you also ahve your choice of satellite that you wish to feed into.

under viewing the moon choose...from earth as it is real time (i think)

during the Kuwait Fires I could see the smoke moving real time.

During that huge power outtage on the east coast a few years ago I was watching when the power went out.

it is amazingly cool. specially if you have kids

Wow..that looks totally different than MY moon here in the east! I don't know if my old digital will take much of any kind of picture. I'll go try... if the batteries aren't dead! :-)

that is with ISO 1000. the other speeds didnt look quite as good. But i will zoom once the eclipse starts.

Dont worry, I am not going to go nutz and post all the pics LOL



I only hope the slight clouds dont hinder me.

just a 6 megapix. Sony cybershot. around 199$ not expensive as most

I have a bit of a tremor and WOW it really makes taking zoom pics difficult. that would ahve been gorgeous if I didnt wiggle

Cat Heaven is the name Zach gave to our house- when he first started reading Harry Potter and decided homes and places should have names as they do in England.
