OT: Tonight's Moon

Stoneman44 · Jan 20, 2019

I wish the pictures was as pretty as the Southern Indiana moon is tonight.

4520BW · Jan 20, 2019

It sure is bright in my part of the state
too. With all the snow it looks like
daylight out.

Don't think we're too far apart. Bedford area here.

Bob Bancroft · Jan 20, 2019

Will you be watching at 1 AM or so, when it is totally eclipsed by the earth?

SweetFeet · Jan 20, 2019

Great pic.

Weather perso said it's a super blood wolf
moon... or something similar.

Bob Bancroft · Jan 20, 2019

Supermoon; about as close to us as it gets. 16% brighter than average.

4520BW · Jan 20, 2019

I am north of Seymour. How much snow did
you have over there?

4520BW · Jan 20, 2019

Its bright enough I can see my 2 white guard dogs patrolling follow by a sheep that thinks he's a dog to.

paul · Jan 20, 2019

It?s minus 1 and clear out tonight, which is good for moon viewing but not good for being out to view it....

Looks like activity starts a little after 8:00pm here in central time zone.

We received 8" inches according to Indianapolis, but it's hard to tell w/ all the blowing and drifting. I passed through a 5' drift on one of our county roads this morning. We had rain and ice leading up to the snow, so you have to contend w/ a sheet of ice once you have the snow removed. Lovely, lovely weather, indeed. But the cold helps...riiiiiight!!

Bill in IL · Jan 20, 2019

You have a few high clouds to scatter the light. Its
clear and cold near Peoria,IL down to about 8
degrees.

jeffcat · Jan 20, 2019

Starts at around 10pm here in eastern time zone. Three hours start to finish.
The alignment is almost dead center perfect. Only problem is the wind and 6?
temperatures. Took this shot at moon rise. This is with my new Samsung J7.

Not quite there, yet! It's 15 degrees here now. Cute, little, Channel 13 weather lady says we're headed for 4 tonight, though!

PS: That's a really nice pic!!

You have to be talking about Angela
Buchman!

steel · Jan 20, 2019

Waiting for the moon to climb here in Iowa at 6:30pm.
The moon is so bright bright right now that we're watching deer on the snowy hillside in the field 1/4 mile away.

BINGO!!

onefarmer · Jan 20, 2019

I went out at 8pm and it was sure bright then. No clouds in this part of MI!!

Russ from MN · Jan 20, 2019

It's supposed to be starting right now (7:38 MT) in AZ, but there's a thin cloud cover.

Russ from MN · Jan 20, 2019

I think they have to be a 9 or better to get into meteorology school!

OliverGuy · Jan 20, 2019

When I was a civil engineer at Purdue she was in our same building. Meteorological science I believe. She attracted attention back then too

Bob Harvey · Jan 20, 2019

Just looked here (7:55) and the eclipse has started. Sorry no pics.

coshoo · Jan 20, 2019

At 8:10 in the Pacific time zone, its about half covered. First night without clouds in a week or 2.

RBoots · Jan 20, 2019

A picture of my backyard, and one of the
chimney just after loading the woodstove
for the night. At -5? already with a
stout north wind, it's fairly cool out.

jeffcat · Jan 20, 2019

Well I was out there at 11:30 with my
professional camera, tripod, and release
cable. The temp was 16?f and a real wind
blowing. After ten minutes just could take
it anymore. Got several very VERY nice
shots. Now for the problems. My old lap top
will not hook to the internet anymore. The
only thing I could do is grab a screen shot
for now. One is from the viewer of the
camera and the better one is from the
laptop. If I could down load the darn image
there are about a dozen stars and the moon
is crystal. I hate technology sometimes.
Just good as I can do for now. Drat!

onefarmer · Jan 20, 2019

Here's the pic I got with my phone @ 12:12am

jeffcat · Jan 21, 2019

The bottom one is with my Canon 7D with a 400mm lenses. It is beauty, I just can't directly down load it. Darn!

kcm.MN · Jan 21, 2019

Jeff, my email is open in Modern View. Shoot me a message. I'm betting there's a fairly simple fix for your laptop problem.

gab · Jan 21, 2019

Looks pretty cool, I've been out 3 or 4 times in the last couple of hours to look at it, don't remember ever seeing that before quite like that.

2x4 · Jan 21, 2019

min tenn.; got halfway thru the eclipse & clouds rolled in. Like someone said 'show me a sky event & I'll tell you when it will be cloudy.'.

2x4 · Jan 21, 2019

Ohhhh! somebody post a clip.

wilson ind · Jan 21, 2019

I'm close to Bloomfield, maybe we southern Indiana folks should have a get together?

jeffcat · Jan 21, 2019

No not a computer problem. Can't transfer stuff because the only thing on line
is the Samsung phone. Then you can't assigne a file. I'm going to see a guy I
know who is pretty sharp. Does repair. No worry.

bcdave · Jan 21, 2019

I've never seen this before. Very neat. Sky was clear and just about freezing in southern B.C.
