Lunar eclipse information

Should be a real good one tonight if the clear skies hold out.

Was gonna have one of the best views in the country so I've been told down here in Florida. Too bad a storm is moving in and there will be no clear skies.

Sweet. Did you catch a glimpse of Mars last week also? I don't have a telescope but I could see the big red dot in the sky.

I kinda want to head out west to see this. Anyone want to head out to simpson springs on the pony express to get a better view without light pollution?

 

[RogueJeepr]

I want to also but... being a Monday and I hardly get any sleep as it is . I better not . Gonna try some pics from home though .

Looking forward to it! Gonna have a fire tonight in the back yard not much light pollution in Lewiston.

Last week was really cool with the Saturn, Mars, moon and Jupiter alignment..

I can't go with you. As is, I have to hustle home and start packing/prepping/loading up for Moab--I'm leaving directly from work tomorrow afternoon.

I'll just be stepping outside my house around 1:00 to see the eclipse.

You could also see Jupiter and even Saturn last night.

That's a great shot. We went out and looked at it several times but it's nice to have that zoom in.
