Clear as a bell here. I'll be heading out shortly to watch it.

Clear here for good viewing. Although eclipse is over here I still have to worry about the unusual flood tides next couple of cycles that come along with these events. Shouldn't be too severe.

Well, if it's any consolation, I've seen bigger-looking supermoons. And I think the moniker "blood" is rather delirious considering nothing about it was really all that red-looking unless you squint and imagine things.
Woooooo. Blood moon. It's scary. Entertaining, though: I haven't sat still and shut up for so long since I don't know when.

Given that the prophets of doom, in their predictions of the world ending yesterday, have their theories fully and truly falsified...
Can we assume we've heard the last of them?

It was very red here in the Forest of Dean. "Blood moon" was a good description. Beautiful it was.Nanohedron wrote:Well, if it's any consolation, I've seen bigger-looking supermoons.

Re: total-lunar-eclipse-supermoon Sept 27,28 2015
Looked more like mud here. There was a hint of a reddish undertone under the shading, but the hue was not at all nearly present enough to warrant the word "blood". I was hoping for better of the promised visual drama (as if an eclipse isn't drama enough). Still and all, it was fun. The pub was particularly bonkers that night.

It was beautiful here, floating low among the eucalyptus branches. Looked great thorough my WW-2 vintage Sard binocs.
Though I had the timetable posted on my monitor, I nearly forgot until a friend called me and screamed: "Don't forget to LOOK AT THE MOON!".
Blood is a pretty accurate description. Not the cartoonish red of Holywood sqibs, but the rust red of dried blood.
Just as totality ended, the lower limb burst into a brilliant white éclat pending below the darkened lunar disc. Literally and figuratively brilliant.

Must've had too much in the way of particulates in the air here, but MPLS normally isn't known for pollution issues, so who knows.

Re: total-lunar-eclipse-supermoon Sept 27,28 2015
Sounds as if it appeared quite different in different parts of the world. Afterwards, I looked for time lapse videos which would show what I had seen. For a while, the only ones I could find were from the States and I was puzzled at first by the fact that the moon was travelling in a different direction (rising as the eclipse progressed instead of setting as it was here) and that the eclipsed portion of the moon was on the other side to where it was for us. I still can't get my head round that one ...
