Re: Comet C/2012 K1 PANSTARRS
Paul
I was able to view (just barely) PANSTARRS w/ my 8" scope from Yorktown, even with the Full Moon. Thanks for the suggestion. Hope to check it out again along with Jacques next new moon. Puppis is too low at my house and it is also made more difficult to see by the air force base sky glow.

Re: Comet C/2012 K1 PANSTARRS
Puppis was behind a tree for me last night but no doubt both should be visible even from light-polluted skies with a moderate size telescope. C/2012 K1 PANSTARRS was easily visible from my driveway in Virginia Beach with the nearly full moon just rising. I can't wait to see them in a dark sky when the moon gets out of the way.

Um, Kent, the comet I mentioned was C/2014 E2 Jacques, a new one in Puppis
at mag 9.8. Sky Tools says Jacques is larger (6.3’) than C/2012 K1
PANSTARRS (2.4’ at mag 9.5), so Jacques will probably be a bit less obvious (but
it’s getting brighter), however should still be easy. In a few nights when
the moon gets out of the way, both comets should be very nice at about 9 PM, but
in nearly opposite azimuth directions.

Re: More lunar eclipse [1 Attachment]
Ah, too bad, George. You were just a bit too late. My pictures are time posted at 02:59:56, 03:01:09 , 03:01:03 and finally 03:13:05 AM EDT. There were other clearings as well but Kent was so nervous he was fumbling around. With all the passing clouds I felt as if I was trying to view and photograph a SOLAR eclipse where every precious second counts! In the end, it was glorious. Maybe those precious moments of clear skies made it even more exciting. Kent Blackwell

I for one have taken many images, and many gave been used in newsletters and presentations we give to the public. I have no problem providing images for non commercial use. However, remember if one displays an image on a site that is displaying advertising, that is probably NOT considered non commercial.

Re: More lunar eclipse [1 Attachment]
George Reynolds
I set my alarm for 0145 to catch the start of the lunar eclipse. I went outside and could see -- NOTHING! Nothing but clouds. I went back to bed, intending to reset the alarm for 0300, but in my sleepiness, I forgot, and didn't wake up until the bedroom was flooded with daylight.  I'm glad some folks got to see it (Ted, Jim, Kent, et. al.) Nice photo you posted, Ted. George George Reynolds "Solar System Ambassador" for South Hampton Roads, Virginia Back Bay Amateur Astronomers

Thank you Jim. Carpe Noctem Bill McLean
From: Jim Tallman To: backbayastro@... Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 10:08 AM Subject: [backbayastro] Lunar Eclipse Report from Whites City, NM (Carlsbad Caverns) WOW.. what a very cool lunar eclipse, very beautiful! My daughter and I could hear the local Indians beating on drums all evening during the eclipse, it was such a surreal experience!! We had a few hotel guest wander out to see what we were doing and shared the sight through my short tube 80. That generated more excitement than the monster raccoons hanging around! What was really cool is when the moon finally got into the shadow all of the stars came out. We could see the moon against a field of stars in the EP. Photos JIm

Kayce...I suppose I should have specified that the
link I sent (for the lunar eclipse) was to a web site other than my own.
My mediocre image gallery is at wd4sel.com and contains no images of the eclipse
of 4/15/2014...and is free for the taking...
BTW, I saw the eclipse last night from thru a
window at 3:15am for a brief parting of the clouds...very brief!

Re: Lunar eclipse and other "eye candy"
Anything I post on a Yahoo group I consider to be public domain. I have no problem if it gets forwarded or reposted. None of the pictures I provided are mine – the photographers were identified in my posts. The images were posted on another Yahoo group. I wouldn’t want any of the pictures to get inaccurately attributed.
