FAO North Americans: Lunar Eclipse this Wednesday

[babypurin]

Well, today is the day, when the eclipse will occur. Anyone have plans? I'll be heading to the school's parking lot with a few friends to see it through one of their telescopes.

Last year I watched a lunar eclipse from the top of the "Stratosphere" in Las Vegas. The show was sweet but the idiots wouldn't allow a tripod up there because "people can trip over it."

Knowing my luck, it will be overcast

A time like this is when I wished I had a nice long lens like the 1200mm f/4

Yes...and I I recall correctly from an article I read a week or so back this will be the last lunar eclipse visible from North America until 2007...
So get out and enjoy it!!

Just so happens that the eclipse will be during a World Series Game...

A unique date in the annals of baseball history will be recorded Wednesday, Oct. 27 when for the first time a total lunar eclipse will occur during a World Series game.

Millions of Americans watching Game 4 will also be able to partake in one of nature’s most beautiful sky shows, as Earth's shadow begins to cover the Moon during the early innings.

Weather permitting, the eclipse will be visible to fans with a good line of site at Busch Memorial Stadium. And, if FOX television producers so choose, the potential exists for this to be the biggest audience ever to see a lunar eclipse televised live.
