Eclipse - turquiose moon

[TaiyedDreamland]

If someone has already posted about this, or if no one cares, I'm sorry. I just like astronomy, and thought this was pretty interesting.

""It will be the last lunar eclipse until December 2010, and it should be spectacular. Shades of turquoise and red will pour over the moon's surface as it moves into the Earth's shadow around 8:43pm EST. As NASA reports: 'Transiting the shadow's core takes about an hour. The first hints of red appear around 10 pm EST (7 pm PST), heralding a profusion of coppery hues that roll across the Moon's surface enveloping every crater, mountain and moon rock, only to fade away again after 11 pm EST (8 pm PST). No special filter or telescope is required to see this spectacular event. It is a bright and leisurely display visible from cities and countryside alike. While you're watching, be alert for another color: turquoise. Observers of several recent lunar eclipses have reported a flash of turquoise bracketing the red of totality ... The source of the turquoise is ozone.' So, all of you amateur astronomers need to get out there and take pictures. It might be worthwhile sharing them on sites like SpaceWeather or Flickr so that our Asian, European, African, and Australian brethren can witness the sight as well."

I can promise you that assuming it is clear sky above me I will have pictures of this.

Sweet My camera is awful, and it's kind of difficult to get a good image of the moon sometimes. So if you get some good ones, I would <3 you if you posted them on here or sent them to me. It's supposed to not only be cloudy that night, but I'm supposed to work. I'm pretty sad.

Well I don't know about cloudiness where I am. (Massachusetts) But assuming I can get them I will have them on here that night.

Here are the best pictures I got from the eclipse. Hope you enjoy them:

Nice!! There is definitely turquoise in the third picture. What are the lines in the second one?

The lines in the second one was a plane flying by. I wanted to see how it looked with it in the shot, and I thought it came out pretty good.

Ok. I am absolutely completely impressed. That's awesome! And you got the blue too! Thanks so much for those!

[pnutwannabe]

No problem. It was my pleasure.

it was cloudy over here fucking pissed me off

Have you done astro photography before? I'm awful with photography. I also have a decent but not great digital camera, so that kind of thing is almost impossible. I have a big aquarium, and try to take pictures of that sometimes, but they rarely turn out right. It's a difficult thing to get right. I'm not very good with a camera.

I actually got pictures of the last eclipse a few months ago:





As for pictures of the stars, I recently got a cable release so I will be doing more of it. When I am able to get away from the city and see a meteor shower I will be sure to get pictures of that.
