Press Release
Weather permitting, at 4:30 pm on November 8, members of the
Victoria Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will be setting
up their telescopes at Cattle Point in Oak Bay to view the Lunar Eclipse
as the moon passes through the earth's dark shadow. Also it is your last chance
to view Mars, still a sight to behold as it recedes from Earth.
The public is invited to look through the telescopes and learn various
techniques of capturing the Lunar Eclipse on camera. If you have a sturdy tripod
and a camera with a cable-release shutter, bring it along, as you might take
some memorable Moon shots.
