A total lunar eclipse will take place on December 20/21, 2010.[2] It will be visible after midnight Eastern Standard Time on December 21 in North and South America. The beginning of the total eclipse will be visible from northern Europe just before sunrise. The end of the total eclipse will be visible rising at sunset for Japan and northeastern Asia, it also appears very visible to the Philippines just after sunset (as in Partial lunar eclipse). It will be the first total lunar eclipse in nearly 3 years, the last being on February 20, 2008. [3] It is the second of two lunar eclipses in 2010. The first was a partial lunar eclipse on June 26, 2010. It is also called the Christmas lunar eclipse. It will be the first total lunar eclipse to occur on the day of the Winter Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere; Summer in the Southern) since 1638.

| This one is real Special!!! From NASA: The eclipse begins on Tuesday morning, Dec. 21st, at 1:33 am EST (Monday, Dec. 20th, at 10:33 pm PST). At that time, Earth's shadow will appear as a dark-red bite at the edge of the lunar disk. It takes about an hour for the "bite" to expand and swallow the entire Moon. Totality commences at 02:41 am EST (11:41 pm PST) and lasts for 72 minutes. If you're planning to dash out for only one quick look -* it is December, after all -* choose this moment: 03:17 am EST (17 minutes past midnight PST). That's when the Moon will be in deepest shadow, displaying the most fantastic shades of coppery red. Coincidences (UPDATED): This lunar eclipse falls on the date of the northern winter solstice. How rare is that? Total lunar eclipses in northern winter are fairly common. There have been three of them in the past ten years alone. A lunar eclipse smack-dab on the date of the solstice, however, is unusual. Geoff Chester of the US Naval Observatory inspected a list of eclipses going back 2000 years. "Since Year 1, I can only find one previous instance of an eclipse matching the same calendar date as the solstice, and that is 1638 DEC 21," says Chester. "Fortunately we won't have to wait 372 years for the next one...that will be on 2094 DEC 21." Fakatselis1.jpg

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Skies have cleared here for right now. Ontario Canada, Let's get some good photographs. I heard 3:17 am est is best to see when the moon goes an orangey gold. I will set my alarm, and if the Universe is generous maybe the skies will be clear. Wylies Mom, you up for it? Other photographers? What lenses do you recommend for moon taking?

| If you are mostly interested in the moon, use the longest focal length that you have. If you want to include landscape, you might want to use fill flash. I'd set the camera on a tripod and stop the lens down first. I hope the skies are clear tonight and that you are able to take photos. This is a thread of photos taken of the moon: Beaver...Let's have Fun With The Moon - FM Forums

If I do pics, I'll have to break out the tripod (gosh those things are not my fave) and maybe my 18-105 lens. Are you doing pics? Think you'll stay up for the whole thing, or just parts?
