Plans for the upcoming lunar eclipse.

It seems that we will have a clear sky during the upcoming lunar eclipse. I have already planned what to do (in spite of the fact that it is very early in the morning in Europe).

Having just acquired a 9mm Nagler, I'm going to test out this eyepiece on some deep-sky objects. The couple of dark hours at full moon come like a gift sent from heaven.

P.S.: Perhaps I'll spend a few minutes on the moon too. But only a few.....

Good luck and have fun, Inge. Here in Charlotte, North Carolina, I plan to study rain and unbroken cloud cover with my C90.

Plans for the Eclipse?

A picture's worth a thousand words - even a lousy picture.

I learnt a lesson: I should have kept my big mouth shut. The clouds from a weather system south of the British Isles heard me and covered up the sky just a few hours before the eclipse started. I was actually more keen about testing my new eyepieces on a dark sky than viewing the eclipse, but I have not served my sentence for acquiring the eyepieces yet. (Cheating the clouds seems to be just as difficult as escaping from prison).
