Blood Moon Eclipse Photos
#1
Enjoy the photos of the flashlight turning into the ambiguous red blob  Big Grin

It was decently clear in Pittsburgh...only a few clouds here and there. The first few here were taken without night mode on, so Luna (the lady deserves a proper name) looks as she normally does, but maybe you can make out the shadow curve of the eclipse starting.

Interesting to note that before the eclipse, since the sun is shining directly onto Luna's surface, you don't see the shadows of the craters you normally do, when the light hits her at an angle. So even through our telescope it looks mostly light gray, and featureless.

Those pics are pretty cool, Jay!  I always wanted a telescope.  Surprisingly my Canon does a pretty good job if you remember the ones I took however long ago.  Last night, I wasn't able to stay awake late enough.  Glad one of us did.  Lol

I do remember...vaguely. Did you post them here?

Daughter was able to stay up with me. It lasted until 2 in the morning or so, but we called it a night around midnight. Son lasted 10 minutes. Wife was out cold the whole time. Smile

I don't know about all that!  But thank you.  I was on my back with a thick blanket between me and the brick steps with my Canon trying my best with many shots to capture what I could.  I remember because it was very cold and the bricks were very hard!
