Eclipse Practice

Hopefully the clouds will stay away this evening so that I will be able to take a picture of the eclipse.

I decided to go out and take a few practice shots.

Pre-Eclipse Full Moon - April Full Moon - Blood Moon PrequelNot too bad for my little camera.

Mars - Night Sky Shot - Planet Mars - Red PlanetMy picture of Mars did not turn out as well. I could see it up above the moon, so decided to try and capture it as well. This was the best shot of several that I tried.

Half Moon - April - Daylight Moon Shot - Moon DetailLast Monday when I got home after my First 787 Flight I took a shot of the half moon. Since it was daylight the picture came out a bit better.

Hopefully I will get a few nice shots of the Blood Red Moon.

I am having memories of watching an eclipse when we were kids.

Now to wait for the eclipse. At least I don’t have to get up in the middle of the night. The eclipse is just after Midnight here.

While you are waiting you can check out some other pictures that I took of the Night Sky.

  1. I find taking a proper picture of the moon very difficult, Stephen: a tripod is my first recourse, but even then moving the camera can cause a change. Good luck as you observe your eclipse!
