The Super Blue Blood Wolf Moon Total Lunar Eclipse 2019 was fully visible in Wisconsin. I hope those of you who wanted to watch this amazing event was able to do so. If you didn’t I’ll share with you what I was able to photograph through the different stages of the eclipse.   The Lunar eclipse began here around 8:36 pm CST on Sunday Jan. 20th. When the Penumbral Eclipse begins that means the Earth’s penumbra starts touching the Moon’s surface. The above photo was taken at 9:30 pm so it took it about an hour to reach this shadow. Here we are at 9:47 pm the shadow is getting…

The January Wolf Moon: 97.4% Waxing Gibbous was really beautiful this late afternoon. It’s getting it’s self ready for the really big show on the 20th-21st. Are you all ready, cause I sure am!   I was so glad we had clear skies today because I wanted to photograph today’s moon and look at it in comparison to its Full Wolf Super Blue Blood Moon rising here on Sunday. The weather man is saying partly cloudy, so we shall see. I’ll be happy with a little view of the whole show, than having nothing at all. I wish you all clear skies and lots of fun. Be safe out there!…

The snowflakes with this snow fall, were mostly shaped like stained glass or crystal. Some very thick while others very thin with…

Today’s January Moon: 77.0% Waxing Gibbous around 3;30 pm. Anyone else getting excited about the Wolf Super Blood Lunar Eclipse Moon? I sure am, so far we may have clear skies the evening of the twentieth. I sure hope it stays that way because I’m wanting to photograph the Wolf  at it’s rising against the horizon. Making it look even larger than life! If you happen to live in my neck of the woods and your going out to watch the Super. Dress warm because it’s going to be our coldest day of the year so far. So no one getting frostbite while you’re enjoying the eclipse. I’m pretty lucky…
