RE: SteemStarGazing thread: Upvotes for your photos of the January 20-21 lunar eclipse
@trang and I have been viewing the lunar eclipse from her telescope in Philadelphia. Can't wait for the eclipse to end so we can watch the return of the lunar illumination. We tried taking a picture but couldn't get the phone to capture the telescope's view.
It's hard to get photos through a telescope without the right hardware. We tried with @astronomyizfun's telescope and a cell phone on a tripod last year in Cherry Springs and we couldn't do it. He found some sort of adapter for it now, though, and he's getting some really nice photos with his cell phone and telescope.
I was glad the sky cleared up in West Chester. I was afraid we would miss the eclipse, but the clouds broke up in time for us to see most of it. It's cold and windy out there!
