Dnas Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I don't know if timezones and stuff conflict with this, but (at least, in Indiana) we have a lunar elipse now.I'm taking pictures every 5 minutes or so, so by tommorrow you can expect a nice little animation of the thingy.This is especially interesting for me because this is the first eclipse I've seen that wasn't on a foggy night.EDIT: About half covered now. So hard to keep the stupid camera steady.EDIT: Just a tiny sliver now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tutankhamun Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Neat, that is today. It should be happening in a few mins here (7:11 now) I think it starts around 7:45 over here, or does it end at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've got like 50 pictures.I'll be sure to post the animation as soon as the eclipse is over and I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnas Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 Alright, I'm tto tired to finished taking the rest of the pictures. Eclipse is almost over anyhow. Besides, it's nearly midnight where I'm at.Anyway, here's the animation. Not the greatest, but I did spend some time aligning things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yiuel Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I went to see it last night. It was a bit cold outside, and didn't brought any coat, only my kangourou. But it was nice to see the Red Moon from the Summit. A lot of people were taking pictures of it. Bravo! for yours Dnas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calefaction Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yah, we saw it here, but it didn't fully eclipse, just had a red shadow pass over it (the earth was causing the sun's light to refract and hit the moon, ions in the atmosphere caused only the red component to get through).

Yiuel Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Normally, the Moon turn red. It seems it never "disappears" as the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I saw it here, though the cloudcover closed in before I saw the "peak". It did appear red here; we were all discussing why it has that effect (I forgot the cause). Thanks, Matt, you answered our question Nice pics, Dnas!

Black Op Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I'd admit those are bloody good pictures, Dnas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 Thanks!I took them about 4 times each. It was such a headache. The slightest movement ruins the picture completely. (I have no tripod or whatever.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chichigrande Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Here in Calirfornia we got to see. It was very cool. The moon looked really sweet. I was mad that I didn't have a digital camera though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_08 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Oh man, I can't believe I missed that!Thanks for taking those pic Dnas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnas Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 No problem. Last time there was one I took my friend's dad's pics and put them into an animation, and this time I wanted to take the pics too. (It's here if you care. http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~dgentry/pics/2003/eclipse.htm My friend's dad is better at taking pics.)Sorry the ending couldn't be more smooth. I have this thing against going outside when is really pitch black outside (i.e. I'm scared. Pathetic isn't it? ), so it was hard to get enough frames.
