Default February 20th's Eclipse of the Moon

OK people, we will be having an Eclipse of the Moon on the 20th of February.

Here is a link for the time in your area.

Here are a few sites on how to photograph it.

Hope this helps and we get to see some stunning shots.

More info here too taking photos of the eclipse seems to be fairly straightforward since the whole thing moves relatively slow. I have some examples in my photostream from the last eclipse too (though we will totally miss this one).

Very exciting. I have two camera bodies now so I can get both close ups and a timelapse type shot. Now to scout out some locations... Even more exciting is that I dont have to stay up till the crack of dawn this time
