Red Moon Rising!

New posts
Hey guys-
I havent read around the board, so this may be old news, but did you know that tomorrow night (saturday mar. 3), the full moon will rise over the water during a total lunar eclipse? And because it will already be in total eclipse, the moon will be deep red, with a corona! It will rise exactly at the time of sunset....how convenient ;-) ... bring the tripod! This should be stunning!

We've got a gig tonight in ATL, but I think we're going to forego a full night sleep, grab the camera and dog and boogie on down to check it out. Here's hoping for some clear skies...

I sure am excited that there is going to be a show with the moon tommorow night. I am just a little dissapointed that it likes to have a Carona and not a Natural Light!:confused:
 
RO, you can try with a telescope. :idontno: The brightness of the lunar eclipse no one can predict anyway since it depends on how much atmospheric dust there is on any given day, so with a telescope you might get past the clouds and see the eclipse.
We have a Meade, and we learned when we first got it that just because you have a clear evening, it doesn't always make for the best viewing depending on this dust.
