Crazy Ed Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Starting just after 6 P.M. PDT (adjust for you're time zone. I'm Always on MST and it works out that during daylight "savings" time the West US changes to match ME - ok All of Arizona......) the Moon will enter the Earths Shadow. Maximum will happen ~ an hour anf 45 minutes later. Other than just being a Total Eclipse the Moon is also at Perigee so it's going to appear as big as Any Lunar Eclipse will for the next 30+ years. Folks in Europe and most of Africa will also be able to see Totality but they're going to need to either stay up late of get up really early. So if the Sky is Clear where you are AND you are within that area, break away from the Bench go Outside and take a look. Here's a practice Moon shot I took last night.
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Thanks for the heads-up. We'll be socked in here for sure. Bugger.
mike 51 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 We'll watch it rise over Mt. Lassen this evening from our back porch..should be great.
Crazy Ed Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 We'll watch it rise over Mt. Lassen this evening from our back porch..should be great. Hummm, So I'm guessing you're between Shingletown or Redding..........
mike 51 Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Hummm, So I'm guessing you're between Shingletown or Redding..........Yep....we live in Palo Cedro, about 10 miles east of Redding just off highway 44.
Crazy Ed Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 Lassen was my favorite National Park and Burney was it for State Parks. I remember when you could just drive t either and get a Camp Site. Mike if you don't get a Picture of the Moonrising over Lassen you need to be Flogged!!
Harry P. Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Wow! Ed, that's a spectacular photo! Very cool.

Tom Geiger Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Full cloud cover west of Philadelphia. Not gonna happen here tonight!
charlie8575 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I wanted to go out tonight, but I couldn't. I took a one-night job for a few extra bucks doing store inventory, and I was hoping to take a break to go out, but the store management decided to make all the breaks uniform instead, so I couldn't.All the drama was over when I left at midnight.Charlie Larkin
Crazy Ed Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) sorry daughter #2 borrowed our camera..and hasn't returned it. "Flogged" ? for doing a good deed? Ok only a finger wagging for not having a Camera there. That woulda been a really nice Shot though. Here's the Moon at Max eclipse. Edited September 28, 2015 by Crazy Ed
Lunajammer Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Lovely photo. GF and I drove an hour into MN lakes country and sat on the upper deck of a woodsy, rural supper club, sat close, sipped wine and watched it unfold for 2-hours. Clouds cleared just in time. Everyone on that deck was there for watching. Later, GF insisted we find a dark road with no visible lights to fully view the sky. Add this to the list of pleasant memories.
Roadrunner Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Overcast here last night, big time, so I missed it.
Crazy Ed Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Mike, Glad you enjoyed both the picture And your night. Kevin sorry you missed the show.

Rob Hall Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Got back from Cali from a fun but exhausting weekend at Rennsport Reunion V about 6:30 and the moon was large, visible though not dark yet. Watched the Broncos game and got tired and went to bed, missed seeing the moon go red.
slusher Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Ok only a finger wagging for not having a Camera there. That woulda been a really nice Shot though. Here's the Moon at Max eclipse. Thanks for posting Ed, cloud cover so i missed it...
peteski Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I saw it with my own naked eyes. Checked it out when it was about half eclipsed then right as it was getting fully eclipsed. Very cool!
Crazy Ed Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks for posting Ed, cloud cover so i missed it... You're Welcome Carl, Happy to Share. Sorry you missed the show
Custom Hearse Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Photo taken in Dallas. This is one of the coolest I've seen
