Super Moon eclipse
This Sunday there will be a super moon, followed by a partial eclipse.
If any are interested in photographing it, check you local area for exact times and locations. There is a program that gives you specific information including times, where to look, etc. The PC version is free. http://photoephemeris.com/ -- PeterN |

I already have my spot picked out, with permission from the local farmer to park in his field- he just finished harvesting the soybeans there. Here in SW Indiana, the event should be conveniently visible with moonrise at about 7:30PM. Accuweather and National Weather both agree on partly cloudy skies. Partly cloudy would just add interest to the shots. I'm planning on setting up two Davis & Sanford "jawbreaker" tripods with Majestic gear drive heads to support the 1200mm Canon lenses. I will take along two dozen cameras, preloaded with ISO400 color print film- I doubt that I'll use all of it. (I hope that my tripod and head selection will meet with nospam's approval.) The only problem I foresee is that since this lunar event is the end of the world, I won't have time to develop the film that I shoot, let alone post the photos on facebook. (Because the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, and the moon is at it's closest point to the earth, the gravitational forces will be greatest. Add to this hydraulic fracturing impairing the bedrock structure of the earth, and the planet will be torn in half. My hope is that nospam will be on the other half!) -- Ken Hart |

I am convinced there are two nospams. There is no other may to explain his/her contradictory statements. -- PeterN |

Accuweather and National Weather both agree on | partly cloudy skies. Partly cloudy would just add interest to the shots. | From the Farmer's Almanac: September 27, 2015: Total Eclipse of the Moon. This eclipse will be visible from North America. The eclipse will be best viewed from the eastern half of North America. The Moon will be rising during the eclipse for western regions. The Moon will enter the penumbra at 8:10 p.m. EDT and the umbra at 9:07 p.m. on September 27th; totality begins at 10:11 p.m. The Moon will leave the umbra at 11:24 p.m.and the penumbra at 1:24 a.m. on September 28th. So about 10-11:30 EDT. |

Depends on where you are. Further east and it is later and can be after midnight, so Monday. That would be Europe and Africa. It is supposed to start around 8 PM EDT where I am. From where I am on the California Central Coast, Moonrise starts at 18:50 on Sunday, and will be full within 60 minutes. -- Regards, Savageduck |
