oh good, I get to post my .gif again!

I took a series of pictures in 2000 of the lunar eclipse. Then I made this .gif.

This year it should be clear here, I'm going to try and take some more pictures. It should be better, I have a tripod this time.

I will be able to see it from my apartment window.:) It isn't cloudy tonight, and I hope it isn't tomorrow either.

Richard, will we have landed by then??? Was thinking it would be really nice to see it 30,000 ft in the air.

I just went outsideand froze myself (no coat and 28 degrees!lol) and the eclipse is very cool. We actually have fairly clear skies tonight so we are able to see quite well.

I saw it too, and it was cool.:D

Last time I will listen to the weather men. I had heard that it was going to rain or at least be cloudy, on the weather report a couple of days ago.

Anyway, whoever posted first in this thread tonight, I apperciate it. If it wasn't for the thread, I would have completely forgot.:o

I understand not being able to see because of the rain you guys. I miss alot of sky events in Seattle because of it.

I went down to the UW-RF observatory to see the eclipse tonight. It was cold, and I didn't bring my camera. But I did get a few pictures after I came home, right as the eclipse was almost over:

I almost forgot to watch it!

John and I were leaving the mall, I looked up, beautiful clear sky, and saw the moon :D
So we sat in his truck in the mall parking lot at watched it, very beautiful.

Wonderful photo, boscibo! :eek: I tried to take some photos of the last lunar eclipes we had. I had my tripod all set up so I could use a low shutter speed. The photos still didn't turn out very well :o John has a camera phone, I thought about attempting to take some photos with it last night, but decided not to. I'm sure they would've been pretty close to awful ;)
