+1... not to mention it's been raining here for 5 days and won't be letting up any time soon.

 

[dpricenator]

no moon for us, supposed to rain until Thursday

 

[iCraig]

It'll be during my annual christmas pub crawl, so I'll step outside and take a look about the time the bars are closing.

Complete cloud coverage here, 7" snowfall tonight. No eclipse for me.

 

[Highlander]

I think I'll just DVR it.

 

[BagfullofPings]

Will this be accompanied by earthquakes, volcano erruptions, or tsunami's? Or is that exclusive to Dec 21,2012

 

[mcroom]

Total cloud cover here. Will watch it on TV or youtube.

One of the moon in total eclipse (or close) and one towards the end. I am new to the whole dslr world so figuring out the settings was not easy for me lol. Anyway, I am sure there are a couple better ones but these were the first ones I opened lol.

Cool event saw a good portion of it at 3:30a. They said that this event last occurred in 1638.

Awesome pics, Justin!! I couldn't get my wife's camera to take a decent focused pic. But, I did get a few good views with video on it.

It was amazing to watch!

Thanks Frank, I wish I had a lens with some more reach on it, that is just using a 55-250mm "kit" lens, not bad for a cheapo though. I was outside for about an hour and finally figured out what settings to use with about 3 minutes left lol.

I really wanted to see it since it has been 300+ yrs since it has happend on the winter solstice. But unfortunatly I was under a blanket of clouds that did not allow me to witness this rare event.

 

[Treinenwj]

Cool pics Twenty5! I wish I had been able to see it.

 

[Eric]

Too damn cloudy here to see most of it...

 

[WhiteWolfIndulgence]

It was a beautiful thing definitely. GF and I watched it for a few minutes before bed. Then I lit up two candles and left a snifter of gentleman jack in offering. Here's to more smokes!

Well, probably not because of Lunar intervention but one can hope.

Great pics Justin! :thumbsup:

If you don't mind me asking, what settings did you finally use to get those shots. I have had a Canon EOS Rebel XSI for a year or so but just haven't had the time to delve to deep or get to serious with different modes/settings. I also tried last night to get some decent pics but just never got there.
