August Lunar Eclipse 2008
Tonight is the lunar eclipse in the night sky and the last one for 2008.
I shall be covering this event from the Convitto using cameras and the Internet to report in this fascinating moment when the Moon gets covered by the Earth's shadow. This event can be viewed through most of the Asian continent and also in Europe. The best part is that I get to watch it when the Moon is rising and can follow it throughout its eclipse.
I shall be using the SLOOH scopes too when they go operational around 10.45 p.m. onwards. From SLOOH I would be able to get a greater close-up shots of the Moon's surface as it gets eclipsed. That should be a sight to see!
I just hope the clouds doesn't come in to spoil the night!
Another hour or so before the fascinating show begins...
