All posts for the day February 19th, 2008

The moon will be totally eclipsed from 10:00 to 10:52 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Start will be around an hour and a quarter before (and after) so the start will be around 8:43pm and should end around 12:09am, these times are from the article here from Sky & Telescope Magazine.

This will be the last total lunar eclipse for the Americas until Dec 2010.

Just as a note to myself, looking at other photos of a total lunar eclipse, try ISO 200 f/6 at 8 sec. and vary from there.

Moon rise is at 6:10pm EST. Sunset at 6:25pm EST. These times are from the USNO website.

So far the weather looks like it may be OK for the eclipse. So far.
