Hey monkey!

Eclipse will be in the early night here nad I have a nasty Celestron telescope that just happens to attach to the Canon AE-1 giving me 2,000 mm. of moon-catching lens.

Forecast is supposed to be clear so I'll be 'shooting' - hope to capture some shorts worthy of posting.

PS: when the spot is right I also find it useful to spy on the jumpship (when I'm not in it of course)

would be too close to sunrise here, so we'll only get the first part of it...

anyway, they havent invented a moon that would make me wake up at 4 am...

so,,, good night to all of you

Lunar eclipse tonight.

What are the chances of getting a decent photo with a simple point and shoot Nikon Coolpix S700? Any suggestions? Or am I just kidding myself? In any case it should be a good show?

Use a tripod and the mechanical telephoto. I've got the same camera.

I've been getting up about 3 AM to feed the wood stove in the middle of the night anyway. I can see myself watching the Eclipse from the hot tub tonight.

Yes, I have the digital zoom disabled at all times. Nice little camera. I should really take the time to learn how it works (beyond the auto default settings).

So this is the first time in three centuries that a lunar eclipse coincided with the solstice. Also they're saying the moon will turn blood red, a sure sign of the end of the world or some such shit.

So where is the hysteria? Let's get going people. Post your predictions for the eclipse.

I predict that Michael Jackson will rise from the dead.

And that a giant radioactive duck will emerge from the ocean and eat Baltimore.

Something like this? OK, it's a comet in the cartoon but an eclipse could have the same effect.

I'll believe it when I see it on YouTube!

You mean, after this event, all men will feel compelled to wear fur jockstraps?

I would be OK with that.

That would be friggin awesome to see a giant radioactive duck emerge from the ocean. Could you imagine what all of the stoners would be saying if they seen that?

Damn no duck yet?? The moon is partially covered about half from where I am in Cali.
