[Chaos-l] Lunar Eclipse Observing With Morehead Planetarium Tomorrow Night

[Michael Hrivnak]

What is the best way to observe a lunar eclipse?  What equipment should I 
bring?  Binoculars?  Telescope?  Neither?  I've never viewed an eclipse 
before with anything besides the naked eye, so I'm not sure what's most 
interesting to see.

Thanks,
Michael
