Hey you awesome photographers....There is a special moon coming up late Sunday night and early Monday morning. It would be great if any of you could get a cool picture! Thanks in advance!

does anyone know roughly the path the moon makes across the sky tonight? I'd think basically northeast to south then to northwest... but I don't really know

Rain and solid overcast in the valley. Moon's a no-show.

Thanks for the report, Jaybro. Please keep us posted.
Mouse, too bad. No moon here yet in Valley Center, Ca.
Oops! Sorry, misspoke, it's here. The bottom quarter is dark greyish, eclipsing. Looks like grey moss hanging off the bottom.

Sunday night, the Earth will slide directly between the moon and the sun, creating a total lunar eclipse. There won’t be another until 2021.
It will also be the year’s first supermoon, when a full moon appears a little bigger and brighter thanks to its slightly closer position.
The entire eclipse will exceed three hours. Totality — when the moon’s completely bathed in Earth’s shadow — will last an hour. Expect the eclipsed, or blood moon, to turn red from sunlight scattering off Earth’s atmosphere.
Everyone everywhere can catch the supermoon, weather permitting. But the entire eclipse will be visible only in North and South America, and across the Atlantic to western and northern Europe.

Clear night here on the ridge in West Seattle, and the eclipse is (guessing) about 80%. Looks like a very ordinary crescent moon...
...until you realize that the visible crescent is the top, not the side.
Very nice.

Sitting outside in pleasant temps toasting the moon and this evening with a glass of white wine. Blessings all. It's nearly all covered. Can't wait to see what the rest of the night holds.
This has been fun sharing it with the Campfire! :) Cheers!
