]]> Comment on Lunar Eclipse Video by Paul Shallow-Sydney Aust http://nsas.org.au/2011/12/12/lunar-eclipse-video/#comment-344 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:06:35 +0000 http://nsas.org.au/?p=2065#comment-344 Very nice Peter, I was thwarted in viewing this properly as I had not realaised that the Ecliptic was now so low in the North and we have a very long row of tall grey gums all along the road to the North of us.
I had to walk back and forth looking for breaks in the tree branches that would allow ‘pot shots’ with a X 20 Optical zoom lens. so dd not see totality as by that time the Moon was angled with the Breaks in the trees.
I thought that the Eclipse was much darker than ones I have watched in the past years. I particularly like the “Moon music” that you have used in background.

Is anyone able to offer me a ride from a station, not necessarily Chatswood but a smaller station for ease of pick up and again back to get a train to Northern line.
