Lunar Eclipse Tomorrow

Just a reminder for all you stargazers out there, in case you missed the Fox report...

There's going to be a full lunar eclipse tomorrow (Wednesday the 20th), beginning at 10:00 pm (east coast time).  This will be the last lunar eclipse until 2010, so have your cameras and telescopes ready! 

You'll especially want to catch the very beginning of the eclipse, when the moon turns copper, then a darker red (so if you happen to look up and see a red moon, no, the Apocalypse isn't starting).  I always miss this stage.  Not this time, though!

I'm currently looking through the instruction manuel for my new digital camera, which my brother and his girlfriend kindly gave me for my birthday earlier this month.  I swear the thing is an inch thick, and its all in English.  Who knew that such a little device could do so much?

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.  Here's to hoping for clear skies!

Thanks for reminding me. I posted info from the farmer almanac on the subject.
My eyes will be on the sky tonight.

Hope you can see it. I have a great view and the night is clear. We are sitting out on the deck with cups of cocoa and marshmallows.

Thankfully, the heavy cloud cover broke for a few minutes last night, so I was able to get a few pictures. Unfortunately, they're not very good, as the tripod I was using picked that moment to break. Cheap piece of junk. My pictures are all blurry now. :P

Oh well, I have plenty of time to prepare for th next one, lol.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -John Stuart Mill
