Lunar eclipse over Minneapolis

Uploaded by: tomruen — Saturday March 3, 2007 — Minneapolis, MN (Current Weather Conditions)

Got some fair pictures of the ending lunar eclipse rising in Minneapolis - viewed from the 27th floor of a coworker's apartment. The view is straight above the 3rd Ave Bridge from my daily commute!

A perfect blue sky today after our big snow storms!

This longer exposure shows the moon inside and outside the shadow, and a short exposure inset in the upper left (1/50s). Rising in the east you could almost imagine it was nearly dawn with a crescent moon rising! :)

About tomruen
tomruen I like astronomy and learning about the natural world. The effects of light and time-lapse movement have always attracted me. Having a digital camera has allowed me to explore in new ways, not limited by the cost of film or time of development. My older photos are from a cheap automatic 35mm camera. Photos in the last year are from digital cameras: (Borrowed) Canon Powershot S100 Digital Elph, 2x zoom, 2x digital zoom (2.0 megapixels, 1600x1200 pixels) http://www.steves-digicams.com/s100.html Olympus Camedia C-2000Z, 3x zoom, 2.5x digital zoom Fall 2002 (2.0 megapixels, 1600x1200 pixels) http://www.steves-digicams.com/c2000.html Olympus Camedia C-4000Z, 3x zoom, 3.3x digital zoom Spring 2003 (4.0 megapixels, 2288x1712 pixels) http://www.steves-digicams.com/2002_reviews/c4000.html I've had fair success taking pictures through 10x50mm binoculars on a tripod, and my 25 year old telescope. (F/8 6" newtonian reflector) I also include some simulated images from my astronomy program that simulates the motions of the bodies of the solar system.
