Don't forget: Super Blood Moon starts soon!

[tacosforlife]

I believe official start of the partial eclipse is 9:03 EDT.

I'm really loving that we chose an apartment on a high floor with a view of the lake - we're going to have a front row seat for the eclipse AND get to see it reflect off the water!

The sun won't set her for another 40 minutes. Do you know how long the eclipse is supposed to last?

This is what I found:

[pixy0stix]

The sun is still up.

[mrshandy]

It's too cloudy here, I think.

Thanks for the chart.

It's just starting for me! Unfortunately my apartment faces west, so I have to go over to the window in the stairwell to look at it.

It's peaking through a little here. Way cool!

[tacosforlife]

My view is amaaaaaaazing. Seriously, I could charge admission for this view.

I've tried. Unfortunately between our slightly cloudy windows and the screen, pictures don't come out.

[ringstrue]

It's starting!!

How the fuck do you take a pic of the moon with IOS9?? It just looks like a big blur

[Velar Fricative]

Too cloudy.

iPhones are not great for such far away shots. I pulled out my point and shoot and have gotten some cool ones before it was hidden.

[waffletime]

Sigh, I can't get a good picture, and I'd have to go out and up a hill to get a good outside view. This is the best I got:

[FloFTW]

It's so cloudy here. You can tell that it's red now because the clouds are pink but I definitely can't see it. Totally bummed.

[ringstrue]

If I take a video and then hit the photo button I get better results.

If you have a pro setting on your camera, drop your exposure to -2, drop the ISO to something low, and make your aperture and shutter speed numbers higher if you can. The moon is BRIGHT and you have 'close down' the exposure quite a bit from a normal photo.

[lilibet]

Right now it's behind a tree across the street. I found a little gap I can see it through but I'm hoping it moves clear soon/

[SallyJ]

105mm on my Nikon Df. Settings: ISO 400, f/4, shutter speed 1/250. I really, really, really wish I had a longer focal length.

[ringstrue]

Almost gone!!

We have a beautiful view from right in front of our house.

My pics look like shit but it it was pretty cool to watch. dh and I have to take turns going downstairs as we can't see it from our windows.
