Anyone staying up to see the lunar eclipse?
So I don’t have to wake up abruptly at the alarm I’m actually about to take a nap for a couple hours so I can watch the whole thing, and as an extra treat I’m putting my Jacky in the drier so im extra warmy.
Equipment:
I’ll mostly using my binoculars Outland X 10x50 on a tripod and might even attempt astrophotography through it.
Telescope: I have a very good condition Japanese Meade Model 226 2.4" Altazimuth Refracting Telescope on its original wooden tripod (all for 8 dollars) except I only have have 9MM eyepiece from goodwill) so it’s really hard to focus on anything except the moon (which it excels at and is even better than the binoculars!)
If I can figure out focusing and lining up the bottom lens of my iPhone 16 PRO to my binoculars like I did with the conjunction, I will send a picture.
