Upcoming Event: Total Lunar Eclipse, December 10 / December 11th 2011

Hi all

I've written an article detailing the upcoming Total Lunar Eclipse, on the 10th / 11th December 2011.

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

The second eclipse of 2011 is better placed for all Australians and New Zealanders, as the whole event will be visible no matter where you live. The partial stages start just before midnight on the 10th December AEDST, with mid-totality occuring at about 1:30am AEDST on the 11th December.

The eclipse lasts for 51 minutes, and the Moon will be in the North at about 30 degrees altitude for mid-southern latitudes (eg: around Sydney).

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
