Super 'Blood' Moon

The eclipse will start at 01:11 BST, when the Moon enters the lightest part of the Earth's shadow, known as the penumbra, and adopts a yellowish colour. At 03:11 BST, the Moon completely enters the umbra - the inner dark corpus of our planet's shadow.

The point of greatest eclipse occurs at 03:47 BST, when the Moon is closest to the centre of the umbra. The sky show is over by 05:22 in the morning on Monday.

The alarms set for 3.00am, the camera has its powerful zoom lens installed. i watched all the Apollo stuff when I was a teenager, Dark Side of The Moon is one of my favourite albums. I've heard it played live twice. So I with clear sky's in the SW of England we might stand a chance. Already been out to photograph a bright moon, although there is some high wispy cloud. 

Here in the Okanagan (middle of BC Canada) the show is just starting at 7:30 pm and we have an absolutely clear night looking along the Lumbey Valley towards the Monashees about 45 miles away.

Should be superb. We have just finished dinner and are settling down on the upper deck with a few glasses of each persons' choice hoping for a treat !

Am in central UK. Lovely clear sky - what a magical lunar eclipse.

A clear and chilly evening in the Seattle area. Call it karma, serendipity, or what, but the streetlight on the corner burned out tonight and so its atypically dark in my neighborhood. Great viewing!

A beautifully clear night. We wrapped up against a slight night chill, turned all the lights off, listened to the coyote in the valley below and watches the moon start to rise just to the right of the Pinnacles as a bottom right crescent then gradually grow to a full, orange/red disc, peaking just after 19:45 local (02:45 UTC).

It was a clam, cool evening. As I type this it has recovered to a bright yellow bottom left crescent again.

What pleasant, cool evening we had !

Here in Phoenix in the lee of South Mountain Preserve we have had a great view of the event,  however a distinct lack of locals taking any interest in it.

quite noisy but a good souvenir of the event

We had a couple of guys hike up the ridge behind us and settle on the peak just about 100 yards away, complete with binoculars to watch the event.

I took a good series of photos of the eclipse hand held with a rather inferior camera. 

If anyone is interested, I'll post them, from a late evening photo through the high cloud of normal enough full moon - though big - through a series in ever decreasing light [from ten to three] till I gave up when I could longer see the Moon myself, and then a shot when the eclipse had passed just before I went to work very early this morning ...

Not technically interesting, but a momento of something I'll never see again in my lifetime.

Good shots. The first one burned out the bright bit, but the other three are really nice. I actually like the last one with all the noise. It's a really cool effect.

I'm waiting for Super Blood Moon DR.

Thanks Winky
