Lunar Eclipse - 2008
« on: February 21, 2008, 04:36:23 AM »
Total Lunar eclipse - last one till 2010!

It's pretty amazing looking right now. The moon is about 75% covered and Venus is really, really bright. Kinda wish I had a telescope.

Anyway, if you're reading this thread, you owe to yourself to go outside and take a look.

Not really the eclipse, but more of a poor attempt at a cool photo XD

Wow. Very pretty, I like how it's partly shrouded. Kinda spooky.

I tried to take a pic of the eclipse view from my home, but this cam sucks for far away things i guess XD  Or more likely I suck at taking pics of things far away... Anyway, here's my attempt:



It looks crappy there but it's actually really bright here...  :O

Damn, wish I had remembered to charge the batteries for my camera. I had a really good view of it from my place.

Thanks for the extra pics. My camera sucks, so it's good to see these ones.

It looked gorgeous! At first, I forgot about this, but when my sister started to talk about it, I went outside and looked. I didn't got to see a big part of it since we rarely see an eclipse at 100%, but from what I saw, it was really amazing.

saw it earlier, really nice.

would've taken pics but knew it really wouldn't be worth it unless you have some pretty good lenses.

I was going to wake up to get some black magic powers from the bathing in the red light of the lunar eclipse, but it was too cloudy here. I'll have to wait 20 years for the next opportunity :(
