Upcoming Event: Total Lunar Eclipse, June 15 / June 16th 2011

Hi all

I've written an article detailing the upcoming Total Lunar Eclipse, on the 15th / 16th June 2011.

The article contains all the information you need including where and when you can view it, and how to photograph the eclipse.

The first total lunar eclipse of 2011 occurs in the early morning of the 16th June, about 1.5 hours before sunrise AEST.

Observers in Western Australia will get to see the whole event, while the Eastern States will miss the last partial stages of the eclipse as the Moon will set just after totality.

It's a long eclipse, with totality lasting 100 minutes. A good Westerly aspect will be essential as the Moon will be low in the West during totality.

Click the link below for more information about the eclipse, how and where you can see it and photograph it, and to look for timings and moon altitude for a city near you.

You can read more at:

Please post any questions, and later, observing reports and images!

Cheers
