Thought it would be cool to attempt to post a few pics of the Supermoon eclipse tonight. Here is a fairy good chart depicting what time the lunar eclipse will start and end.

It was indeed a very cool sight to behold! Due to the temperature dropping into the single digits my smartphone camera could not be used, frost started to cover up my telescopes eyepiece so i was forced to take pics without the telescopes visual aid and managed to get a couple of fairly sweet pictures.

Only after trying to take these pictures did i realise that it got harder to take pics as it got closer to full eclipse, less light for the camera to gather. It proved as a challenge i enjoyed and will most certainly do again, altho better planning for cold weather should deffinetly be something that i do before the next full Lunar eclipse.

Keep looking up. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif


Edit:

I forgot to add a couple of the other pics i got as well.
