Re: [Utah-astronomy] SPOC open (Wiggins Patrick)
*sigh* Had to pass on the moon last night. Work overload. Had to get my sleep. I'll catch the next one in April. How was the view? Clouds? Clear?

Penumbral started but no sign yet. patrick
April will only see 5 minutes of "totality", won't even get very dark. Just barely total. Septembers should be deeper. I believe both are visible from North America. On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 7:22 AM, Bruce Hugo via Utah-Astronomy < utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:

According to TheSKy computer program, September 27, 2015, the lunar eclipse will be visible from Salt Lake (and surrounding area) Moon rises about 7 and the eclipse starts around 8. PERFECT!!!!! Everyone should expect mother nature to throw a monkey wench into the event. Jared, your picture was great. I have something similar but in a much smaller format, and with cursed thin clouds causing problems Not nearly as crisp and sharp as yours. Working from my home I used a digital camera and my 3" finder scope as the lens. If those *@%^#$@^ clouds had not continually drifted across the sky, MIGHT have got something like yours.
