BarbinMich Posted January 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) EarthSky.org announced today that there will be a total lunar eclipse on Jan 20-21. It should be visible (assuming clear skies) throughout the western hemisphere. The website says many refer to this eclipse as a "blood moon" because for many viewers the moon will look red. Here's a link for more info: lunar eclipse map. Lucky folks who will be at sea then will have the best view because of the unobstructed view of the sky and the darkness surrounding a ship at sea. Enjoy! [Note: also posted this info on the Celebrity and Princess boards; feel free to post the info to other boards!] Edited January 15, 2019 by BarbinMich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted January 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thank you -- doubt if we will see it. Snow storm after snow storm is headed our way just about every other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ski ww Posted January 21, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 21, 2019 We had a beautiful clear night, very cold -21C about -5F. Tired to take some picture, don't have a good zoom lens. Best I could do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freestyle Cruiser Posted January 21, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ski we - excellent photo. We saw it in Ft Lauderdlae and it only covered about 80%. It was beautiful. Also, many stars were out. We enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelnap Posted January 21, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 21, 2019 It was too cold to go out and watch it, but I did look out the window and caught the eclipse about half way through the eclipse, unfortunately I did not stay up to watch the total eclipse. Full moon was beautiful before the eclipse though and this morning it still looks great through the foggy mist. Yes, fog, because it warmed up overnight to 3F from the -8 last night.

knittinggirl Posted January 21, 2019 #17 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) I kept on having issues w/ the tripod and ballhead combo slipping. But I managed to get a few shots. Temp was in the upper 40s/lower 50sF. Looked better on camera than w/ the naked eye. You need a lot of zoom. Once it got high enough, we were able to bring the camera inside our courtyard and out of the wind.

Here are a couple of Eastern US. It was not nearly as nice as your weather--windchill below 0F. I'm fairly new to photography and only have a 135mm Kit lens, but it still came out pretty nice and was worth braving the cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
