Red Moon - WOW

Unread post by KiwiWeather »

Wasn't it rather surreal to see the moon tonight (in between the clouds that is)!

I have got a couple of shots, but have no idea how they have turned out. Alas my camera is more sophisticated than moi. As it's all rather fiddly to download, I shall do it tomorrow and hopefully they might be worthy of posting. Meanwhile, has anyone else got some shots. Spwill, perhaps? - nudge nudge ;-)

It's been an ill timed event for this event to happen as we have had continual cloudy skies with not much let up in the coming days except for maybe a day or 2 next week.
Never mind, maybe next time? :|

Did try to look as well tonight while driving from Titirangi to Epsom 1845 - 1920h. too cloudy, managed to see a quarter moon but no reddish glow. Pity. They reckon we will get another three of these within the next 1.5 years.
Who put the LED's on the lightning arrestor ?
