CBC News - Technology & Science - Lunar eclipse, winter solstice to coincide

This year's winter solstice on Tuesday will fall on the same day as a full lunar eclipse for the first time in 456 years.
The rare, 72-minute lunar eclipse — when the sun, the Earth and the moon align — will begin in the early morning hours on Dec. 21 in North America, and should cast an amber glow on snowy landscapes, said NASA.

I posted on Juan's previous thread about astronomy ... wondering whether we'll see some lunar eclipse shots. I did some test shots with my camera, but I've got the shutter and aperature set wrong for the current moon light. I'm going to try to get a shot, but not optimistic.

Doesn't it start at 11:24 and last for 20 minutes? It's on December 20 ... supposed to be a red moon.

Forget the Winter solstice; I can't wait for the Spring equinox. Brrrrr....
