Total Lunar Eclipse Winter Solstice Time-lapse Dec. 21, 2010

[noodler99]

I watched this event in Huddersfeild England. Freeezing cold morning -9 clear sky soon forgot about the cold. ONCE IN A LIFE TIME EVENT.

[MegF142857]

Very cool. I tried to take video with my little camera too. I couldn't stop futzing with the manual controls trying to get a better shot. 2 of our next door neighbors came out near totality sparking a small impromptu gathering in the wee hours.

Best one of the eclipse that I found so far. Thank you for using a TRIPOD! I live in New england, got up at 2:30 and stayed up until 4 but it was too cloudy. It also happened to be my birthday. So thank you for shooting and sharing this!

@cking613 Glad you like it. Late Happy Bday.

[bigstiggerNo1]

you took all this time in your life to make a video that could have been great. You must have planned doing it and spent hours out there recording the footage. Only to use a usless camera that displays a usless online video.

[AnAverageSkeptic]

Glad you all like it. I was freezing, but this will never happen again in our lifetime, so it was well worth it.

[gavalladares]

Thanks for the video. God job. I saw it coming out trough my window on that morning.

[KickYouInTheThroat]

also thanks for the fast upload. i wasnt exactly able to see it because of the overcast. 

[MrDYNAMO14]

How does this happen? is it the earth's shawdow??

[AnAverageSkeptic]

@MrDYNAMO14 Yes, it's basically the moon moving behind us and having the sun in front of us. As the moon orbits us/we rotate it makes the shadow come and go.

[ReligiousJezta]

That was great man. Much clearer than what I got to see. Nice video!

[tim3jones]

I enjoyed seeing this Total Lunar Eclipse you got on video, Than you for sharing!

dark side of the moon

[tattooskin72]

so beautiful to see :)

[jakluk4]

i work nights, plus it was cloudy here, so missed it entirely, thanks to your video, i was able to get a glimpse! :)

[ArielleNaMara]

We didn't get to see last night's Solstice eclipse due to being in the midst of a snowstorm and full cloud cover, so I really appreciate having this chance to have seen it. Would have been even more awesome set to better music..."Dark Side of the Moon" comes to mind, but then you might have had copyright problems, so I just viewed it whilst listening to my CD ;) Thanks for sharing this!

[AnAverageSkeptic]

@ArielleNaMara I'm glad you like it and got to see it. I don't like using well known music because they will and do get you for copyright and can pull the video. They don't always pull it, but it can happen. Also that song is too long for the video.

[NocturnalBeat]

Thank You!!

[3salamanders]

P.S. The music is cool, too. What is it? Thx

[3salamanders]

Slack duly cut. This is wonderful!! We had clouds, so I'm so happy to see your lovely video. Just a video camera? Good job! :)

[AnAverageSkeptic]

@3salamanders Just a Canon camera and a tripod. The music is from Incubus they are instrumentals that came with the Look Alive DVD, I believe. The first is called Midnight Swim and the other is called Soft Sculpture. They have one on that album called Pathogens of Wormy Interludes that's great, but it's about 8 mins, way too long for this.

[3salamanders]

@AnAverageSkeptic Incubus!! I knew I knew that sound. Thought for a moment they might be obscure Porcupine Tree tracks. Nice selection. :)

[mokus1962]

I immortalized it on my blog, I hope you don`t mind.Will add your name under it. And it`s probably the only possibility for me to see it, because I live in Germany, and it`s very cloudy here, so thank you very much, once again.

Wishing you a happy Solstice and Winter Holidays like Christmas and so on.

Love and Light, Edith

[AnAverageSkeptic]

@mokus1962 That's fine. I'm glad you like it and got the chance to see it.

[soundscapenyc]

Great footage!! well done :)

[mokus1962]

Beautiful video, thank you sooo much!

Namaste, Edith

[AnAverageSkeptic]

@mokus1962 Glad you enjoyed it. I froze making it, that's the only reason I didn't film the 2nd half plus it was getting really late.

[lardo444]

@AnAverageSkeptic that damn moon just won't stand still. will it? thanks, i was sleeping, i wanted to see it but i didn't wake up. we had a perfect cloud free night here in florida, but the 12 pak of beer prevented me from viewing it first hand. thanks again.

peace, lardo.

[newcoleco]

Congratulations... I've missed it because of clouds.

[AnAverageSkeptic]

@newcoleco We got lucky and it was completely clear here. When the eclipse was full I could see the meteor showers. It was amazing.

[KickYouInTheThroat]

i think ya did great. never heard that song before but it seemed very fitting.

[AnAverageSkeptic]

@KickYouInTheThroat Thanks. The songs are instrumentals that Incubus did on their album Look Alive. These two are called Midnight Swim and Soft Sculpture.
