["Brig C. McCoy" <brigm@MIDUSA.NET>]

Hi...

There's a lunar eclipse coming Thursday, 26 Sep. Here's a selection of some
lunar eclipse-related web sites y'all might enjoy:

The Sept. 26, 1996, Total Lunar Eclipse
<http://www.skypub.com/eclipses/m960926a.html>
An article from Sky and Telescope with a lot of information about the
eclipse and some background information.

Griffith Observatory
<http://www.griffithobs.org/SkyEclipse.html>
A very nice page from the folks at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles
showing the various phases of the eclipse and discussing some of the
background information as to why a total eclipse is so neat.

Photographing the Lunar Eclipse
<http://home.earthlink.net/~caroleigh/eclipse.htm>
Nice discussion of what's involved in getting pictures of a lunar eclipse.

Villanova University Astronomy: Lunar Eclipse & Comet Hale-Bopp
<http://astro4.ast.vill.edu/26sept/index.htm>
Site with some great star charts showing the position of the moon in the sky
when it's eclipsed, and also a comet that should be visible with the naked
eye during the eclipse!
