I’m curious what anyone may be doing to view the lunar eclipse tonight?

I think I’ll climb up on my roof about 4am to get a western view of it .

I'm going to try to do a time lapse video. If I'm successful I will send it out to everyone. If I'm not successful - I tried. 🤷

I’m going out too. I have a good view of the western sky from my patio and have my 5” SCT already set up. Good temps an moderate winds should make for a fine night here in Lodi.

Did any one else see the fireball descend from above and about 2degrees south of the moon at about 4:12 AM? Very beautiful and unexpected.

Thanks Doug,
 
Here is the 'tech': ED80 refractor with a 17mm eyepiece projection (~34X) into a D7100 Nikon body. ISO=2000. Exposure was 5 seconds. No post processing.

James, no I didn't see a fireball. Wish that I had. That would have been cool.

I must’ve had my eyes in the wrong direction at that moment.

 

These “on the edge of the umbra” eclipses never look total to me.

I’m going to walk about 2 blocks and gawk. When I see it and it’s better than I thought it was going to be, I’ll wish I’d gone to Hwy 4.
