Hopefully you got to see the Super Blood Moon eclipse tonight! It was quite… spectacular. And long! For us in the Central time zone, it began around 8:07 PM and ended around 11:27 PM. The total eclipse began around 9:11 PM, peaking at 9:47 PM.
The Husbear and I headed to the end of our road to observe, as the moon was obscured by the trees on the ridgeline we live on. And we were greeted with the start of the show.
I managed to take these pictures with my iPhone and an olloclip 2X telephoto lens. I was actually surprised how well they turned out.
We ended up coming back to the house around 9 PM, and I watched the rest of the show from there, as the moon had finally cleared the trees on the ridge.
The last supermoon eclipse happened in 1982 when I was 9, and the next won’t occur until 2033 when I’ll be 60. Here’s hoping I’m around to see it.
Until next time...
We did the same, only we had to get up at 4:00am for the spectacle. Ken did the photo thing like you did and posted them on his blog. I love astronomy!
That would have been a wee bit early to get up, but sometimes it’s just totally worth it.
those turned out way better than mine, but I had no iphone telephoto.
I invested in the olloclip a few months ago. Totally worth it. I was tired of not being able to get better close-up shots on my phone from a distance when we travel.
I got to watch from my front porch. From your 1982 reference I now know that I’m just a scant 9 years older than you.
Front porch watching would have been nice too!
So you and my Husbear are or are right about the same age then. 😉
Great pics!
Thank you! Those were the best of the 500+ that I took. 😉
