Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography

[Henk Terhell]

Thanks Dan.

I'm not very happy with the FA 80-320/4.5-5.6 on the K-1 (nor on the 
K5), but it has fairly good length for a moon shot.

Yep - that's the generally accepted name.  "Infantigo" appears to be
a US-specific corruption.

My younger brother had a very nasty case of this when he was perhaps two.
It wasn't responding to the normal treatment (Gentian Violet, in those days),
so our doctor decided to try a new antibiotic that had recently been made
available for general use in such cases - something called "Penicillin".
While Penicillin had been used by the armed forces in WWII, it took a bit
longer for it to come into widespread use. Fortunately our GP kept himself
informed of developments in medicine, and was prepared to try something new.
(This was in the early '50s).

when I checked the clock and saw it was
about an hour before the time when it would be lowest and reddest I went 
to the living room window .. the position of the moon at that point did 
show me a bit of a pale yellow-orange look but I couldn't have viewed

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography

[John Francis]

According to my local news broadcast (usually fairly reliable)
the next triple-hit will be in 2028, with another one coming in 2037.

But maybe the 2028 one won't be visible from Australia.

Lunar eclipses happen a couple times a year, and are visible from about half 
the planet.  Are you
sure the next one isn't until 2037?

Mark, for you, with the sunrise at 6:59am, it was probably bad.
But in Detroit, which is considerably west from you,  the sunrise was at 7:47am.
So, I'd say the partial eclipse (in "umbra") was probably still visible for 
Ken. (Ken, how was it?)


In our neck of the woods, we had a very tight schedule:
   Moon's
 Azimuth   Altitude
  h  moo
Moon enters umbra  2018 Jan 31  05:48.1   279.5 17.5
Moon enters totality   2018 Jan 31  06:51.4   286.5  4.8
Moonset2018 Jan 31  07:19 289.8 
Sunrise: 7:17am


The totality was starting when the moon was rather low, and would be 
obscured by the houses nearby.
So, last night I thought of the observation point that is on the
"hill" (it is very flat here, so, it is hard to find a real hill),
and on the eastern side of the major highway (which doesn't go "high" in 
this area).
So, there was a clear view to the moon as the totality was starting.

The timing was perfect: we didn't have to wake up to early, just 10 
minutes earlier than usually. We left from our house some 15 minutes prior
to the time we usually leave for the school bus. We saw the onset of the 
totality, and then drove to the school.

It was a very good timing for us. The sky was a bit bright because of the 
approaching sunrise, but overall, everything reasonably visible.
No need for early rising and no school classes missed.

Cheers,

Igor

Well, since it's winter we'll presumably be able to descend the hill
on our brightening skis.

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography [traveling-with-tripod question]

[Stanley Halpin]

Dan, you say
> I used to bring a tripod with me, but with the tighter baggage regulations,
> I gave it up a few years back,

Not sure what baggage regulations you refer to.
I used to remove the head from the legs, put my tripod inside my large 
suitcase. Larger suitcase than I needed, but anything for the tripod…
Every single time, that suitcase was spotted and opened by TSA. And they often 
don’t do an acceptably neat repacking job.

Someone on this list, one of the other relatively frequent travelers (Mark? 
Ken? Paul?) said “not to worry, just carry it with you.” So, with some 
trepidation, I did. And have continued to do. My Lowe camera backpack has 
straps designed to hold a tripod. Works well.

My usual first flight from our small regional airport is on a CRJ-200 50 seater 
commuter jet. My camera backpack will not fit in the overhead. Surprisingly it 
does fit under the seat in front of me. So, once aboard, the tripod comes off 
the pack and into the overhead, the backpack goes under the seat, and off we go!

I do take the ball head off the tripod to reduce the weight and bulk of the 
tripod; the head goes into the backpack. The backpack often gets a 2nd or 3rd 
look from the x-ray guy, but I can’t remember the last time anyone asked me to 
open the pack to inspect my gear.

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography

[Henk Terhell]

For W-Europe unfortunately no eclipse. All we have right now is a blue 
supermoon:

It's a fairly rare thing for all three to occur during the same full 
moon. The last time one was visible from North America was 150 years ago.


I think we're supposed to be able to see the beginning of the eclipse 
from here on the east coast (of North America).

So, I'd say the partial eclipse (in "umbra") was probably still visible
for Ken. (Ken, how was it?)


Very comfortable and warm - I was asleep - I couldn't be botheed.

Mark, for you, with the sunrise at 6:59am, it was probably bad.
But in Detroit, which is considerably west from you,  the sunrise was at 
7:47am.

So, I'd say the partial eclipse (in "umbra") was probably still visible
for Ken. (Ken, how was it?)


In our neck of the woods, we had a very tight schedule:
  Moon's
Azimuth   Altitude
 h  moo
Moon enters umbra  2018 Jan 31  05:48.1   279.5 17.5
Moon enters totality   2018 Jan 31  06:51.4   286.5  4.8
Moonset2018 Jan 31  07:19 289.8 
Sunrise: 7:17am


The totality was starting when the moon was rather low, and would be 
obscured by the houses nearby.

So, last night I thought of the observation point that is on the
"hill" (it is very flat here, so, it is hard to find a real hill),
and on the eastern side of the major highway (which doesn't go "high" in 
this area).

So, there was a clear view to the moon as the totality was starting.

The timing was perfect: we didn't have to wake up to early, just 10 
minutes earlier than usually. We left from our house some 15 minutes prior
to the time we usually leave for the school bus. We saw the onset of the 
totality, and then drove to the school.


It was a very good timing for us. The sky was a bit bright because of the 
approaching sunrise, but overall, everything reasonably visible.

No need for early rising and no school classes missed.

Cheers,

Igor

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography

[John Francis]

Nope - last night.

I happened to wake up at 4:25, so I stepped outside to take a look.
We had clear skies in San Jose, and from the deck outside the house
I had an unobstructed view.

Around half an hour later I stepped outside again; by that time  the
eclipse was total. The moon was still clearly visible, but yellowish.

I didn't wait up for the next half hor, so I have no idea how red the
moon ended up getting.

Super Moon because it's close to perigee (appears about 7% larger).

Blue Moon because it's the second full moon in the month of January.
Blood Moon because it's going to be a total lunar eclipse.
