any one know how often this happens??

[Hillzy]

It's allrrriiiggghhht

[heslo]

Looked awesome, definately looking forward to the pics

[Hillzy]

oh maybe I was let down from where I was viewing it from, I had some cloud coverage... Anyone see it from the hills?

[boostd_r32_gurl]

yep! looks awsome. The suns reflection off our atmosphere boucing to the moon give it the real deep orange effect. (like a sunrise on earth)

can happen twice a year...so they say......

Here's a couple pics I took. Only got a 7x optical zoom so its not brilliant but does give you the idea...

The photo was taken using a tripod and 8 second exposure. focus set to infinity.

Turned out better than I thought it would

Great pic......

This is the first time i have seen it this orange in years.... the last couple have had cloud cover when its happened

Ive spent the last hour or so with the telescope looking around..... Jupiter is looking good tonight too.... i can see its moons!

Luke n I went to Mt Lofty to see it, fair few people up there and lots on side of the road on way up. Looked pretty cool, listened to radio on way back, they were saying out south or on the beach wouldve been a good spot.

Either way looked pretty cool where we were, could even see it from my house pretty well and im right near the city.

The best place to see the eclipse was out my way they were saying. (gawler) It happens every seven years.

Its commonly refered to as a blood moon. Isaw it back in 2000 and was just as clear as it was tonight.

Its incredible how fast the eclipse takes place. Was watching it in the GTR on the way home from work (sitting at the traffic lights that is ) Amazing!

[Howie]

Nice show... snapped a pic also.

[SNEEZYR32]

wow, nice pics guys

[andz]

hell Steve

that is heaps clear, must be from a telescope

my new camera with 10x zoom couldnt produce that kind of quality, sharpness, clarity..and all of that

[Madaz]

theres a guy on gamearena that normally takes killer photos but couldnt find anything he took this was the best i could come up with and its not his work

what camera did you buy
