Red Rabbit Report post Posted December 8, 2011 Just a heads up that the total lunar eclipse will be visible Saturday morning before sunrise. Could be nice with the moon near the western horizon with the light before sunrise. http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/when-is-the-next-total-lunar-eclipse-for-north-america http://www.mreclipse.com/LEphoto/LEphoto.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted December 10, 2011 The eclipse was cool!! The moon turned a neat shade of red for awhile before blacking out. Did you get pics Doug?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted December 10, 2011 In Tucson I went out at 6:30 and saw a half eclipse then at 7am the moon was down behind the Tucson Mts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted December 12, 2011 I was up at the Grand Canyon hoping to get the eclipse as the moon set right before sunrise. Unfortunately, the moon entered totality and was not bright enough to be seen through the haze in the low sky. Next time in 2014 Taken before sunset. Sure was cold on the rim at 6:30 AM.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted December 12, 2011 Oh man....I was hoping you got a pic of the moon when it turned that red color..... very nice pic though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted December 12, 2011 Amanda, no red moon that night. Guess it needed to be higher in the sky when totality occured and not down in the dirty air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elkaddict Report post Posted December 12, 2011 Saw the whole thing while walking into our glassing spot. Neat to watch! Dusty asked me if I had my camera and I said if I take a picture of the total eclipse it would just be a picture of a dark sky! Time lapse would have been nice.
