Getting ready to photograph this rarest of rare celestial spectacles, I just shot this as a test.

(90mm Refractor Telescope + Plossl 17mm Eyepiece + Moon Filter + Sony Cybershot)

Stargazers don't miss it, this is a "Once in a Red Moon Opportunity".

Hey Nice Pic VC.

beautiful pic VC bhaiya , waiting for more

Thank you. I will try to oblige - it all depends on how long I can stay awake. The show ends at 03:32:15 hours tomorrow. Wish me luck.

i am also out with my telescope its Newtonian one  its little bit cloudy over here

Man proposes, God disposes.

From a clear night sky, it has now become completely overcast with thunder rumbling. The Moon is now hidden behind a thick layer of clouds and that, I think, is the end of all my preparations.

  same here no sign of rain the only thing bugging me r mosquitoes ....but i still have hopes VC sir thats bad

I am covered in Odomos, Baygon spray - you name it. Wife won't let me enter the bedroom because of the stink! I will have to sleep in the guest room tonight. No wife, no moon, no photographs, how sad!

 

Till now I cannot see the moon due to heavy cloud in Kolkata.
Only a few small opening comes and I checking the moonpath if it can be recognized.

Waiting from start of eclips.

Even I couldn't see the moon   Waited till 1.30 am, went to the roof, went out on the road, disturbed the street dogs,they started a war against me, barking loud at me. And I was roaming out on the road in my shorts and banyan with a wooden plank in one hand and a cam in the other. 

Lol... That was a different 'total lunar eclipse' experience. It was clearly visible here at Cochin, saw photos in some dailies. Will post the links in the eve.

    

There were nice pics in the front page of Mathrubhumi daily Cochin edition today
Here is mine, I was unable to wait until it starts  ......
