Crappy camera. Anyone have a good setup for taking pictures of the moon. I remember seeing some photos from a member here awhile back of hte moon that were amazing.

Hey Winston,

Ok, this is a really stupid question, but how are the phases of the moon different from the eclipse. I understand that the eclipse is due to earth's shadow on the moon, but why wouldn't the earth's shadow fall on the moon once a month?
 This gif showing the moon's phase's just confused me even more. It looks like every full moon should be a lunar eclipse and every new moon should be a solar eclipse. Help! I'm an idiot! tony |

You have to think three-dimensionally. The moon's orbital plane is not identical to the Earth's. Usually the moon comes to the opposite side of the Earth as the sun where the planes to not cross, in which case the shadow will miss the moon. The shadow will only cover the moon when the moon is in the line at which the planes cross, and when that point is perpindicular to the Earth's orbital path around the sun. The same is true for solar eclipses, except that the moon is much smaller and the darkest part of the shadow is only a few miles wide, so it is much easier for it to miss the Earth. That is why solar eclipses are more rare. |

Because the moon is not traveling in a perfect circle around the equater of the Earth. Its cockeyed. |

You know what's cool about the redness of the moon? The redness comes from the same thing as the redness of a sunset. If you were on the moon, you would see red sunset ring around the Earth. That red light, of course, illuminates the ground, which we see.
So the red color on the moon is coming from low-angle sunlight through our atmosphere. |

Didn't feel an earthquake. I'll bet that means the WHOLE moon will be red as blood, and I mean dark dark red. Not like tonights sissy red. Dont worry, it ain't that time just yet!

Well the next passage reads: "And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind." And in just the past 10 minutes of casual watching I've seen two falling stars right next to the moon.

In Illinois it is more red than covered, we must be closer to the edge of the shadow.

Correct, it is about 5° off from the Earth's.   Had to crank up the ISO and slow down the shutter for this one, too bad the moon moves across the sky, or it would've been sharper.

"Stars" in the Bible mean literal stars or angels (morning stars). "The stars" of heaven I believe are refering to the angels that will acompany Christ at his return. No doubt a redish moon is a tell tale sign to all of us that believe. A blood red moon would means there'd be a lot of debris in our atmosphere from nukes, volcanoes, etc... |

Just sat out there looking at it thru bigbore's Kowa for an hour. The wife even joined me.
I took some pics, but they can't do the Kowa justice. Wow. Sharp and clear. Just stunning. We had a great time and I even took the opportunity to smoke a stogie. "Frickin' SWEET!" |

 Just kidding man!! I was thinking the same thing but then realized that it has to do with how all three line up and that they're not all in a level plane all the time to allow the eclipse to occur. |
