  • Wonderful viewing...

  • hi great vid! got a question for u if thats ok,

    when doing prime focus astrophotography i can not use the lcd screen on the dslr to focus as it is blank,no image,the image only displays after it has been taken, is that normal? thanx

  • @HiggyB61 If you're talking about the live view function, it takes only very short exposures to continually update the screen. You'll only see bright things there like bright stars or planets. The exposure on the live view isn't nearly long enough to see faint objects. It does help a lot with focussing though. You can aim at a bright star and use the live view to help you to get sharp focus on that star.

  • @Arkalius80 thanx for ur quick reply!

    yes im talking about live view, when i was taking images of the moon (u can see them in my chanel)

    there was nothing on the live view or the computer when the camera was connected to the telescope so i had to take an image then try to focus the scope,had to do it a few time to get the moon in focus that way.

    i thought originally that when i connect the camera to the scope id be able to focus first in live view then take the image, so am i doing wrong?

  • @HiggyB61 I'm not sure I'm fully understanding what the problem is... Are you saying you had the scope pointed at the moon, then attached the camera, and then saw nothing upon turning on live view? Keep in mind that the proper focus for the camera is usually very different from what it is when using the scope visually, so it may have just been that the moon was so out of focus you saw nothing but a blur... Usually you get general focus in the viewfinder before using the live view.

  • @Arkalius80 yes the scope was pointed at the moon when i put the camera on it & i couldnt see anything in live view until i took the pic then the camera gave me a preview of it, the moon wasnt out of focus too much,i have an 8" reflector so when looking at the moon with an eye piece it just fits in so there is enough light to see but dont see when camera is attached. how would u focus when taking a pic of the moon when doing prime focus astrophotography?

  • It's so beautiful

  • FUCK I WOKE UP TO LATE!!

  • I better not miss nonight's lunar ecliose....the next one won't show until December 10.

  • @iamfuyu You already missed it, sorry to say.

  • @Arkalius80 DAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNN IIIIIIITTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! DX{

  • My alarm didn't wake me for tonight lunar eclipse. I had already made the settings for the camera. Damn teenage sleep and damn technology.

  • Eclipse TODAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! tanight

    

  • @allaboutme3897 DAMN STRAIGHT!

  • yes

    really

  • when is the eclipse today??

  • @FatKitty211 idk near night kinda a NO-DUH comment but hey?!

  • @FatKitty211 yes it is today

    i can make a spechial edition of mesa's got talent

  • Where I live, a total eclipse won't be visible until either 2024 or 2025 :/

  • @Druidly What continent do u live in? I hope i dont live in yours cuz i wanna see one soon!

  • @Druidly I actually live in Maine, there will be visible partial eclipses before that though

  • FFS, a total lunar eclipse is about to happen in half an hour and its nothing but cloud :(

  • wohhhhh

  • you can see how dark the space is from this video.... during totality, the faint light refracted by earth's atmoshpere manages to strike the moon, reflect back at 0.12 albedo (same reflectivity as asphalt) and reaches us, still standing out as a relatively bright object in the sky....

  • o wow a obviouse answer

  • ya know wat will be a better name for the lunar eclipse?? the red moon :D

  • well i tried to watch it to heavy of a sleeper my alarm wasnt loud enough to wake me up so yea but i like the song so if u can message me that song i would be happy

  • well i tried to watch it to heavy of a sleeper my alarm wasnt loud enough to wake me up so yea but i like the song so if u can message me that song i would be happy

  • oooh! Lacrimosa! I just love that one!

    And...such a beautiful lunar elipse! Magic!

  • Beautiful! Thanks

  • it looked so awesome! i saw it just tonight <3

  • omfg so i wait for 3:17 when its supossed to be all red and at 3 clouds coming and going say a tiny bit a red barly anything. Now i cant see anything at all when its supossed to be at its peak great timing for once in a life time event clouds!

  • I cought a glimps of the Moon at it's zenith at 12:oo(Cleveland, Ohio), just for a second, and it's been overcast ever since. Better luck to us all in 2014.

  • Fuck man, I was looking forward to seeing my FIRST eclipse ever, but now the overcast? Man..... I can see the moon a little through the clouds, and I hope to catch a little of the action....at 12:33 am I am heading out there for the beginning partial eclipse, and a 1:33 am I am heading out there for the Total part.

  • I live in the country area of Virginia. And the moon is very much visible and bright (it's illuminating my whole walkway to my garage and the drive way) from my back porch. I'm so excited, but a little scared because this is my first time seeing it. I'll be on the phone with my boyfriend and he'll see it too. But i'll have a chair and a phone.

  • How does it get that red glow?

  • @Silver101Wolf i think its because the earth is between the moon and sun during a lunar eclipse. Normally the sunlight would hit the moon, and we see the yellow reflection on earth. Except now with earth in the way, the sunlight must pass through the earth's atmosphere before hitting the moon. The earth atmosphere scatters blue light (and the sky is blue) so mostly red light passes through the atmosphere to hit the moon during the total eclipse

  • CURSE YOU CLOUDS AND LIGHT POLLUTION

  • i live out in north east pa and it is so windy up here and it dose freak me out maybe they have the year wrong and is this 12 21...

  • Am I suppose to be happy or scare cus the comment below me is right about the sun turning bloody red omg !!! ;(

  • Lunar eclipse is on dec 21 when the world is supposedly in 2012 which is kinda weird and moon will be red like the bible said the color of the moon will be on the day of the apocalypse which is also weird •~.~•

  • yea in my time zone the lunar eclipse will happen at 1:33 am

  • @xXLaZyB0neZXx ahh you must live in somewhere in eastern america.. i too live there

  • @xXLaZyB0neZXx whats your time zone

  • @xXLaZyB0neZXx what timezone

  • beautiful...

  • u know....the bible did say that the moon would be blood red in the apoclipse.....could the apoclipse happen on a lunar eclipse?

  • perfectly clear in Oklahoma! have my telescope & video camera ready to go. Now the wait.........

  • @OklahomaKALE what time does it start ?!!!

  • @OklahomaKALE perfectly clear in colorado also, its just the waiting that annoys me haha

  • blizzard in wisconsin. effffff.

  • it sucks its raining in california but im going to try and get some pictures anyway

  • I have been looking forward to tonights eclipse for years and has been clear all week and now of nights this week its cloudy. DAMMIT! I've wanted to see this for forever and now some non caring person somewhere else who found out today will get to see it and I don't.

  • @QuincysRcool I know how you feel. The last total lunar eclipse we've had was Feb 2008, and that was clouded out here. There was a partial one earlier this year in June which was clouded out here. Now there's this one, perfectly timed for west-coast viewing, right at the winter solstice so it's as high in the sky as it can be, and it's overcast for at least 300 miles in every direction. There won't be another total lunar eclipse fully visible in the US until 2014. I'm extremely disappointed.

  • @Arkalius80 just 4 years from now man, just 4 years lol :)

  • @Arkalius80 I know!!! I've been waiting for the Dec 21 2010 Eclipse for literally YEARS!!!! And there is ****IN' cloud cover. Do you know that this was the first Lunar Eclipse to happen on the Winter Solstice in 300 years!!! And it won't happen again until they predict 2094!!! If I'm alive, I'll be 103!! I guess it falling on the solstice doesn't really matter, but still. I don't want to wait 4 years either!!! I guess this video will have to do. Thanks for uploading!!

  • @Arkalius80 and then IF 2014 is cloudy, we have to wait until 2090 x( - WE WILL BE DEAD! (and if were still not by then, we won't want to wake up at 2:00 a.m. in the morning 'cuz were very,very,very tired.)  -No Offense, Old People

  • @QuincysRcool I'm in Florida and its the first cloudless night in weeks :D

    I'm sorry, I hope your clouds move. :3

  • @QuincysRcool im that guy

  • @QuincysRcool although i do do want to see it i just happened to have heard about it earlier today

  • @QuincysRcool im looking at it right now with clear sky but o well i could care less

  • all i see is red tint in the sky because there is trees right in the way

  • @kotyatobin Yes me too! So annoying!!!!

  • @QuincysRcool Yeah...It was cloudy here aswell...Me=PISSED.

    Oh well...Thanks for the vid

  • @MikeW259 Well lets just hope that its not cloudy during the total solar eclipse in 2017.

  • @QuincysRcool same, here man

  • i'll made a video tonight :D Camera ready in Montreal!!

  • why does it turn red like that?

  • i cant wait for tonigvhts, im going to take some pics =)

  • Totally cool. In 1971 I saw a total lunar eclipse of the moon in broad daylight waiting for the school bus. Freaky reddish brown thing was packed with detail suspended up in the sky like from some dream cause it looked real yet surreal at the same time.

  • @PantheraAtrox It would be impossible to see a total lunar eclipse in broad daylight. A total lunar eclipse occurs at full moon which is only visible when the sun is down. The moon can be made to appear quite red due to stuff in the atmosphere though...

  • @Arkalius80 , honestly, you are wrong here. I did see an actual total lunar eclipse in the early morning around 6:00 AM in 1971 waiting for the school bus to arrive. The moon was out that cilly morning but instead of being it's normal whitish color it was a dark brick red color.

    Pretty trippy seeing it with great detail.

    A friend of mine who visited London on that same year saw it too but it was not total there as it was here.

  • @PantheraAtrox Was it before sunrise? If so, then that isn't in "broad daylight". It is impossible for a fully eclipsed moon to be above the horizon at the same time as the sun. If in fact it was an eclipse you were seeing at twilight, it would have had to have been very close to the western horizon. Was that the case?

  • @Arkalius80 Again it was just after the earliest morning sunrise for the sky was a pale blush hue on that cold Feb in North Easterm Amer. The time was around 6:00 to 6:30 AM. Was waiting for the 7:00 bus. Many other kids saw it also.

    While it was't high up in the sky it was well past the horizon.

    Saw the total lunar eclipse last night, awesome. But that day time detailed brown rock in the sky was a trip.

  • @PantheraAtrox Well either you're misremembering the details, or what you saw wasn't an eclipse. There was a total lunar eclipse in February 1971 visible in the US and it was over before sunrise in any part of North America. Besides, if you just think about it for a minute, you'd have to realize why it would be impossible to both see the sun and a fully eclipsed moon at the same time while on Earth's surface.

  • @Arkalius80 , As an artist, I clearly remembered what I saw, a big clear brownish rock in very early morning sky. NEVER could forget a sight like that. BTW it DID eventually fade out as the morning sunlight became brighter.

  • @PantheraAtrox It must have been an atmospheric phenomenon then that caused the moon to appear that way then.

  • @Arkalius80 Whatever it was that caused this effect, I've never seen anything like it since.

  • @PantheraAtrox I have. A couple of years ago, there were lots of fires around here and the smoke turned the moon quite red.

  • @PantheraAtrox Well the moon can look orange due to particles in the air. Look: wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_the_­moon_sometimes_orange

  • @Arkalius80 no actually u saw a normal full moon the other day at 12:30 so im sure u could see a red one.

  • i cant wait. im in pa so its at 2:41 am but i dont care.

  • can't wait for the eclipse in the morning

  • wait is the moon or the sun moving?

  • @RedSoxsGirl33 the moon is getting into the earth's shadow

  • @RedSoxsGirl33 if you want to be precise, they are all moving lol :)

  • @helion987 srry! didnt mean 2 vote down on ur comment

  • OMFG lunar eclipse when happen December 21 at 3:17 EST! it will be visible over the entire continent

  • @aleqthepredator cant wait i got my camera ready waiting in jersey !!!!!

  • OMFG lunar eclipse when happen December 21 at 3:17 EST!

  • i remember i was drining with my uncle to LA from the bay area that night, and didnt know of the eclipse. i remember i honestly thought it was the beginning of armageddon when the moon turns red like blood lmao!

  • how come there's always a star (or a UFO) on a lunar eclipse, for example 0:35 - 0:36 .. also on the other videos, look around that part of a lunar eclipse. then there's another one around 0:44 - 0:46

  • @perrypurpleplatypus Those are stars... at the exposure level I have to use to capture the eclipsed moon, some stars will show up. They appear to move because the moon is moving.

  • @perrypurpleplatypus if you had a spaceship capable of interstellar or even intergalactic travel within a reasonable/short amount of time wouldn't you want to watch up close?

  • @perrypurpleplatypus your a idiot

  • how come there's always a star (or a UFO) on a lunar eclipse, for example 0:35 - 0:36 .. also on the other videos, look around that part of a lunar eclipse.

  • I was told by my science teacher that a lunar eclipse was to happen in my city soon and my homework was to film it. I am going to have such a great experience!

  • Awesome, I have a d40, maybe I sould take some pics of the upcoming eclipse

  • They should put people on the moon if that happens :P

  • guys this is serious dangerous business we has super sayans runnin around when this happens!!!!!

  • wow

    

  • It looks so cool if the moon turns red^^

  • Why is the moon orange during a lunar eclipes

  • fantastic!!!

  • I like when people photoshop these to look like jack o' lanterns.

  • Looks like ewanca in Mabinogi

  • @chickensoup1212 I already have twice. But, I'll do it again since you asked nicely. Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light which is why our sky is blue. The red light gets refracted through it and that is the light that is directed at the moon, making it appear red.

  • @chickensoup1212 Thank you for your most incorrect answer.

  • Just think what it would look like if you were ON the moon during that...

  • @qwerty999110 A fiery red ring of light where the sun used to be... It would be neat.

  • @qwerty999110 I think you would die... coldness and no oxegen ect. :L

  • WHY DOES MOON TURN ORANGE?

  • Wow; Arkalius80! this is wonderful.

  • it looks like orange

  • thats a blood moon

  • @vampsarecool thts not a blood moon m y friend it's just a shadow XD

  • and a blood moon is a harvest moon wich has nothing to do with an eclispe lol

  • so, I'm looking for my first telescope and I don't want to spend more than $300...I don't care for an automated one because I want to learn to locate things myself...so, any suggestions?

  • I believe a 6" dobsonian reflector can probably be had for under $300... but if you don't mind increasing your budget just a bit more, 8" dobs are around $350 and are notably better than a 6".

  • Correct.

  • 1`` = how much centimeters?

  • 1 inch is 2.54 centimeters

  • um hi!

    Kind of random question- maybe its kinda stupid too i dont no

    but why does it go red? :)

  • That isn't a stupid question at all. The red light is light that is refracted through Earth's atmosphere. Our atmosphere scatters blue light (which is why the sky is blue during the day), leaving only the red light to shine through. This casts a red hazy light over the moon. It is significantly dimmer than the sunlight, which is why it requires a different exposure level to see it.

  • Thats really cool! Thank you :)

  • awasome

  • what lens did you use?

  • Well... none. Technically the telescope was the lens, so an 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope.

  • Red moon, Red moon, cleanses the sins and makes the souls anew

  • excellent! great job!

  • Great idea for a video! Perfect music!

  • ...beautifull and magnificent. That was very beautiful. God bless you for making this. Beautiful video of some thing almost a fourth as big as the Earth.

  • man, when i was young there was total eclipe of moon in here... i got so scared when i saw orange/red moon big as hell right above the horizon...

  • 1:14 ..looks like there is lights there, maybe reflexion of something. just a inch below the top, but then when u study the whole pic on 1:14 looks like spots of light from most places but that one seems brighter..

  • That's Aristarchus, the brightest feature on the Earth-side of the moon. It's very distinctive and even easy to spot in Earthshine.

  • oh ok, thx

  • whats the orange stuff

  • Its called the Deflection effect caused by the earth with the light coming from the Sun..

  • here it was too cloudy to see

  • It wasn't well publicized? I can say that. The lunar eclipse that happened not too long ago I heard about one month before it happened. I didn't hear the words solar or eclipse all year of 2007.

  • wats the MUSIC?

  • Mozart's Requiem Mass

  • if thats reel then i didnt get to see it

  • if thats reel then i didnt get to see it

  • I wonder what it would be like if you were on a eclipse.

  • burning to death :)

  • I didn't know there even WAS a lunar eclipse in 2007. Awesome!

  • It started after Midnight across the US so it wasn't one that was well-publicized.

  • what does this mean plz some1 tell me

  • Beautiful!

  • love the choice of music! lol

  • wow it hapaned on my birthday

  • That bad luck

  • lmao come check out my eclipse video. It was my first so i was counting by the minute LMAO haha i realized after words that it takes hours :P:P

  • isnt the moon supposed to spin a little?i cant see a rotation whatsoever here.but im not really good at this subject, so this is a question rather than a complaint!

  • The moon does "wobble" a bit (called libration) through it's orbit, but these photos only cover a period of about a few hours which is not nearly enough to see any difference.

  • okay, thanks for the enlightenment!

  • Beautifully done!

  • omg 0:50!

  • omg 0:50!

  • yeah thats def a moon not a space shuttle. so ur dumb

  • At 00:36, it is clear that what we are viewing is no moon; it's a space station.

  • uhh...idk about you but i'm seeing a moon there

  • Yeah me too

  • Where the hell do you see a space station?...

  • It seems some people didn't quite get the joke...

    No one has seen Star Wars here?

  • fine capture

  • dramatic music givin me the chills

  • i wanna be a scientist or a doctor

  • y did it turn red?

  • it turns red bcuz the sun is blocking the moon.that's what a total lunar eclipse is

  • oh yeah! lol... I forgot!

  • i think that the camera turned to night mode ;)

  • y it turns red?

  • great blend of photos

  • atmosphere i think?

  • i wonder why it was turning orange

  • because it isnt getting any sunrays to make it bright like it is at night by bright i mean u being able 2 c the moon in the sky

  • it turns red bcuz the sun is blocking the moon.that's what a total lunar eclipse is
