Talk:October 2014 lunar eclipse

Newer version of Espenak's prediction

Espenak has http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OHfigures/OH2014-Fig03.pdf which appears to be newer than the version http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2014Oct08T.pdf we are referring. For example greatest eclipse is 10:54:36.2 UT, not 10:54:35.1 UT, and start of penumbral eclipse is 08:15:33 UT, not 08:15:36 UT, etc. Should we update our tables? /80.71.135.103 (talk) 09:04, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Good catch. Same source, newer info. The previous numbers were ran in 2001. I updated the table accordingly. →CrunchySkies ❅ _{« talk ± gawk »} 09:22, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Visible after midnight Oct 8

Does this mean early morning Oct 8? So on Oct 7 you wait until it turns midnight then see the eclipse after then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.97.211.246 (talk) 00:58, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, exact timing depends on your timezone, October_2014_lunar_eclipse#Timing. Tom Ruen (talk) 06:49, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Selenelion

Anyone got a good picture that could be used on the article of the selenelion, the eclipsed moon in the sky after sunrise? ProfessorTofty (talk) 22:15, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

I observed from Minneapolis, photoed the moon disappearing around 7:28am CDT, with technical sunrise ~7:21am. This photo is 07:25:56am. ... Okay, checked camera clock 0:01:50 fast, so photo is 7:24:06am, still after sunrise. Tom Ruen (talk) 22:24, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
