Lol jesus people, if you don't care about lunar eclipses, or taking psychedelics during a lunar eclipse and discussing your plans then just don't participate.
Considering I just ate 4-AcO-DMT two days ago I think I will just smoke a lil (subbreakthrough) amount of DMT on the golf course. I usually get my telescope out for the lunar eclipses (and no matter how many times I've seen it I still think its awesome), though this will be useless during a DMT trip. I always wanna plan solstice and equinox trips but a lunar eclipse equinox trip sounds double cool.
Looking at the weather is gonna be partly cloudy here, hopefully won't obstruct the view too much.

If this gal doesn't come round my house to have a nice snuggle session, then probably psilocybe semilanceata will be consumed, maybe a bit of alcohol and ganja as well.
I'm either seeking out something nice and pagan in the city where I live, and dance up on the hills; or heading back to my hometown to dance with some free spirits and possibly share some quality time with this curvaceous flowerchild I was down the pub with last night.
I'm going to manifest Something good - last year I kinda missed out.

A lunar eclipse , total, is fucking amazing to watch...
The moon slowly gets smaller and smaller , in quicker and quicker succession, while at the same time, starting to slowly spiral around in the sky.... Until it disappears, then slowly it rewinds back to normal.... it is FUCKING MESMERIZING.
I didnt think it would be great, but me and an Ex took some 2c-i and went to the beach in FL to watch one a few years ago, and we took the 2c-i too late, so we didnt come up until much after the eclipse finished, but it was still SOOOOO tripy to see the moon basically tracing out the flower of life in its rotation (or its appearance of rotation due to whatever the fuck is going on during the eclipse)
Edit, now im starting to wonder if what we saw was in fact a total lunar eclipse, as it didnt really change colors except to that soft grey almost purple hue that happens when viewing the moon through light clouds.....
And no one else has mentioned anything about the size and position in the sky changing ....
WTF did we watch? did we not eat the 2c-i too late?

^HH: "spiral around in the sky" and "position in the sky changing"... it does NOT, except for the normal very slow traversal that normally occurs over 2-3 hours of earth rotation, plus the Moon's normal even slower motion around the Earth in which it does change position relative to the background of stars but VERY slowly. The Earth 's shadow forms a narrow cone out at the distance of the moon behind the Earth as it orbits the sun... moon and stars and the invisible shadow-code of Earth continue apparent movement from E to W caused by Earth rotation, and the Moon moving relatively slowly in its orbit around Earth against the backdrop of stars... this slow orbital motion moves it into, through, and back out of the cone of the Earth's shadow (which causes the eclipse) and also of course moves it relative to the stars as usual but as said, very slowly, which is why the whole thing takes a few hours and the moon does not change much in overall position in the sky... a little but not much.
This http://shadowandsubstance.com/ is basically what it does except alot slower of course. The animation of the Moon is very subtle and depicts quite accurately so far as structure what is normally seen... the part in the Umbra I think looks brighter here compared to the non-eclipsed moon of course... it really ought to be darker in comparison, but I understand they wanted it to still be visible on screens.
So, dude, if while it was being eclipsed it was also "spiraling" and flying around the sky changing positions and stuff (that sounds like what you are saying you saw)... Um, well I'd say that the 2C-I *DID* take effect sooner than you thought, obviously! Anyway sounds like great fun to watch, haha, wish I coulda seen that with you all!
So far as the color change, it all depends on what is happening around the rim of the Earth. Essentially the colors of ALL the sunrises and sunsets around the edge of the earth get bent and diffracted inward, so that even though the moon is in the deep shadow of planet earth, these colors from the rim fill the shadow with colored light... sometimes (usually) there's lots of reds and oranges so the fully eclipsed moon turns orange or red, but sometimes it just so happens that there's lots of totally overcast areas around the rim, so moon end up going totally to black or just a very dim but normal color... really no way to predict it. Very cool that you and GF were not expecting much but ended up blown away.

TONIGHT!!!
Last combo total lunar eclipse and Solstice occured in 1600s and we (as well as 1/2 the US) is expecting clouds. I am going outside to shake my fist at the sky whilst uttering curses and making angry faces... maybe that will scare the clouds away! (or get me sent to the funny farm)

Slooh to Broadcast Live Feed of Total Lunar Eclipse through Sky in Google Earth
Oh cool, they're also going to show it on a giant screen on Times Square!!!
GO TO THE LINK FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.
If you've never downloaded and played with the Google Earth app you should. It's really one of the most perfectly awesome and totally-for-real-Sci-Fi apps you can use. You can even point yourself AWAY from Earth and fly out to Mars and other Solar System places that have imagery and fly around them!!! And even further into the heavens.
Microsoft's free World Wide Telescope App is also very very cool!

Slooh to Broadcast Live Feed of Total Lunar Eclipse through Sky in Google Earth
Published: Monday, 20 Dec 2010 | 6:00 AM ET Text Size
NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- In an on going mission to provide a live view of the universe, Slooh, the online Space Camera, will deliver a live feed of tonight's total lunar eclipse through Sky in Google Earth. This will be the first total lunar eclipse in three years and will be an especially rare event, as the full moon will pass through the shadow of the Earth on the winter solstice, the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Stargazers all over the world are invited to simultaneously watch the total lunar eclipse unfold in what may be the largest ever online global star party.
The new live feed feature appears as a bubble in the Slooh Space Camera layer in Google Earth and will broadcast the entirety of the lunar eclipse over a three-hour period. The live feed can be accessed by clicking on the planets icon in the Google Earth toolbar to switch to Sky mode. In the layers panel, open the Current Sky Events folder and click on the Slooh Space Camera layer.
Launched in October 2010, the Slooh Space Camera layer in Google Earth is a live astronomy feature that brings the power of live space exploration to Google's global audience. The Slooh layer delivers a live stream of images from Slooh's worldwide network of powerful user-controlled robotic telescopes into Sky in Google Earth. Digital images of celestial objects taken by Slooh members with Slooh's patented instant imaging technology are automatically uploaded to Sky in Google Earth to share with the world.
"Slooh's powerful new live feed technology through Google Earth allows children and adults alike from around the world to share the view of the fascinating night sky through their computer screens," said Michael Paolucci, Founder of Slooh. "Viewers will not only be able to watch live coverage of tonight's total lunar eclipse, but will also encounter many other celestial events on future Slooh missions including transits, comets, and supernova discoveries, adding a totally new dimension to the Sky experience." The live feed will be enhanced with audio narration by Slooh host and nationally renowned astronomy luminary Bob Berman. To listen to the audio narration and capture live photographic images of the lunar eclipse with the Slooh Space Camera, go to Slooh.com and sign up for a free Slooh membership.
The total eclipse of the moon will begin at 1:32 am Eastern Standard Time on December 21 and will be visible only throughout North America and Central America. The online broadcast of the eclipse will make viewing possible for people in Asia and throughout the rest of the world where it will not be visible.
In an effort to make live views of space widely available to as many people as possible, Slooh also announced today it is distributing a new live feed widget to anyone interested in helping share the view. By downloading and installing the widget, any website from personal blogs to social media profiles and online news sites can now display a live feed of space. The live feed offers web visitors the unique opportunity to watch celestial events such as eclipses, transits and comets live on-screen as they happen in real time. The widget is free and available for download at http://sharetheview.slooh.com.
To help Slooh share live views of space, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) is promoting the widget to over 350 clubs in the Night Sky Network, a nationwide coalition of amateur astronomy clubs that bring the science, technology, and inspiration of NASA's missions to the general public. The ASP is also promoting the widget to Astronomy from the Ground Up, a nationwide network of informal science educators comprised of almost 700 individuals, representing over 450 institutions ranging from smaller science centers, nature centers, outdoor education centers, state, regional and national parks.
In addition to teaming up with Google to broadcast the total lunar eclipse through Sky in Google Earth, Slooh is also partnering with TSS Media to broadcast the eclipse on its 5,000 foot video screen in Times Square in New York City on Tuesday, December 21. Beginning at 3:13 am and ending at 3:18 am and interspersed with 30 second updates at 2:00 am and 2:40 am, the live feed will give residents and visitors the unprecedented opportunity to view the eclipse simultaneously as a group. The Digital Smart Sign is located at 1568 Broadway, between 46th Street and 47th Street. The Times Square lunar eclipse broadcast will be the first in a series of live feeds put together by Slooh and TSS Media in 2011.
About Slooh In December 2003, Slooh launched the first Space Camera available to the public.
Slooh has served more than 300,000 missions to members from 70 countries who have taken more than 1.1 million photographs to date. Slooh's patented instant imaging technology makes astronomical objects appear like Polaroid images over the course of 5-minute missions. Slooh pictures have resulted in community wide participation in several discoveries, including co-authorship with leading universities, including Cal Tech, of research regarding a recent supernova discovery.

Yea was pretty cloudy here, but I got glimpses of it as it was eaten up. One short break in the clouds right around the peak. Ended up just gettin stoned and enjoying the relaxing view

^GREAT! Now you nay-sayers, would this not be just awesome to watch happen with your own eyes?
Remember that color comes from THE COMBINATION OF ALL THE SUNRISES AND SUNSETS ON EARTH AT ONCE... TOO COOL!
The slooh direct link for a full page image worked great... I right-clicked their Google Earth bubble for "open link". NICE hi-res images. There was a lot of color... deep orange. I captured images all the way along, the transformation was entrancing. Anyone know a good tool to create an anim-gif? I will do that and post it here.
btw, the ccssc page, either the camera or the web page was really low-res, grainy, noisy in comparison and obviously the camera NOT good with color in low light.
slooh quality was just spectacular.
great gallery of stunning views here: http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Lunar-Eclipse/ss/events/sc/122010lunareclipse
from spaceweather.com:
Earlier today, for the first time in 372 years, a total lunar eclipse occurred on the date of the northern winter solstice. Observers in North America were favored with an overhead view as the full Moon slipped in and out of Earth's eerie red shadow. Jonathan Sabin sends this picture from Ellenton, Florida:
bigger: http://spaceweather.com/eclipses/21dec10/Jonathan-Sabin1.jpg
"It was an absolutely gorgeous night for an eclipse!" says Sabin.
Sabin's photo captured not only the red light at the core of Earth's shadow caused by sunlight filtering through the stratosphere, but also the "turquoise fringe" caused by our planet's ozone layer.
Also spaceweather.com has a bunch of links to other shots, some very nice including landscape, as well as this beautifully done montage:

Clouds here on Long Island prevented me from seeing the eclipse from my backyard, but thanks to the technology of Slooh.com, I was able to enjoy the event live on-line. Capturing images as the eclipse unfolded allowed me to construct this montage of totality.

Dwayne that's a beautiful montage, thank you. It was clouded over here in southern England as well, but it is still a wonderful thing. The winter solstice, the full moon, the Earth Goddess.

^ So sorry about that McTwist... I shoulda shaken my fist at the clouds a little harder I guess, haha. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Exact timing of cloud banks is still not an exact science, so there's no way you could have known or predicted exactly.

Goddamnit, it's been pouring rain for 3 days straight (um wtf, it's socal) and alas, I could not see the moon. Maybe we should stop destroying the earth or somethin'.
