I will be now thanks. I read about it but I forgot the date.
I was actually outside just now to try to take a picture of the Moon rising.

Why do they never happen on a Friday or Saturday night?
Ziggy can you take pics?

A cell phone isn't going to get the job done,, need to be able to manually set the exposure. The cell phone is going to see a bunch of dark sky and make the moon WAY too bright.Quote:

Yeah well, since I ended up baby sitting a sick horse throughout the night, I watched it from start to finish. Whoo hoo, lol.
Was pretty neat to see what a close-by, red planet would like like. :thumbup:
Is the horse ok?Quote:

We had a horse a few years back die in a matter of hours, it can be serious and is the leading cause of death in horses.
So, I injected him with some meds, walked him around..and around...and around, and watched until the urge to roll went away.
So yeah, the moon deal was an added bonus. Will have to wake the daughter up tonight for round two, like a ruhtard I didn't take any pics. :bangmyhead:
Thanks for the explanation. Learned something early today. Guess I can go back to bed.
OK, here is my attempt at shooting the Lunar Eclipse last night. It was tricky because I had to keep changing exposure and settings as more of the moon got covered up. I tried to get more of the orange color, but couldn't make that happen until there it was about 75% covered due to the bright white blowing out the exposure.
I am going to try and figure out how to make this into a GIF as well, but for now they are in order starting just before 11pm and ending at 12:15am
Enjoy.
