Took the scope out with attached camera. Pitiful. Too many clouds. The photos I got are pretty poor, very dark, little detail. I never saw Moon without a bank of clouds in front of it. Put the equipment away about 21:20 and went to bed. Early morning wake-up for work. So much for the “End-of-the-World” hopes. Dave

I also got a good view of this with some of my neighbors. We must have had 30 people spontaneously come over and look through the telescope at it. We got pretty lucky with the clouds

We had a nice view from our front yard. The moon rose partially eclipsed as expected, into a thin cirrus layer but was into a patch of clear sky by totality. The moon was visibly darker at mid-eclipse than the last one, which was debated as having perhaps not been truly total. I was using my vintage 8x30mm Sans & Streiffe binocular which gave a pleasing image scale. Had to turn-in at mid-eclipse to get up early this morning for work. A nice way to end the current "eclipse season" of lunar eclipses. We have to wait a while for the next series, but at least we have Mars to look forward to in 2016. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
