All of western and some eastern part of Canada and all of western and some eastern part of the U.S. will be totally in the dark...

Just a little FYI about the eclipse. The Moon won't touch the center of the Earth's shadow during this eclipse. In fact, during most of the eclipse, the southern portion of the Moon will barely be within the umbral shadow. This will make for an eclipse where the brightness will vary considerably from the northern to the southern part of the Moon, with the northern part being noticeably darker than the southern part. This will be VERY cool!
As I wrote previously: Bracket, bracket, bracket!
Have fun!
:)
as the weather forecast in Calgary today is very gloomy with rain showers at night. Dang! as I really wanted to see it...

I may just have to give this a spin tomorrow night.

Too funny!
I suspect he'll take a rain check on that!

So much music, so little time!
the lunar eclipse will not happen until the next day. Perhaps, you could listen to the Wall instead and once you're comfortably numb then you can always listen to the DSOTM.Anyway, good luck against the Colorado Avalanche. As usual may the good team win.

Thank you, Lito, but I'm afraid this is going to be a very short, "one and done", playoff season for the Wild.
(sigh)
But as they say, "Just wait until next year!" :)

That's why they play the game.

Unfortuately, they are the hottest team going into the playoffs.
Colorado at 8-1-1 and Minnesota at 7-2-1 in the last 10 games, I'd say they are just as hot going into the play-off. The only problem with Minnesota is they don't have a goalie as good as Varlamov. But Colorado doesn't have Ryan Suter on defence either, so we'll see how this one play out. All I can say it's going to be a very interesting series.

Wins a lot of Cups. No?
But not all the time, especially if he has an excellent defense in front of him. Goalies such as Tim Thomas, J. Quick and C. Crawford were blessed with excellent defense in front of them. As far as I know the only goalie with an average defense in front of him that won 5 Stanley Cups was G. Fuhr. During his career he only amassed a paltry middle of the pack 3.38 GAA and .887 SV% stats. He was successful because of Gretzky's shooting gallery show in front of him.

but since it will transpire after my bedtime, I'm just assuming that.

This is a Lunar or Solar Eclipse?
Much thanks!
...occurs while it's dark and at full moon. Interesting confluence of events: eclipse, Passover, tax day.
For clarification, this is a lunar eclipse, not a solar eclipse.
Here is my go-to source for eclipse predictions:
http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html
If you wish to photograph the eclipse, be aware of these factors:
The Moon appears larger to the naked eye than it will through a camera. The Moon's angular diameter is about a half of a degree, so to get a decent size image of it, you will need at least a 200mm lens, and preferably 400mm.
Similarly, even at maximum eclipse, the Moon may appear fairly bright. However, to camera film or digital sensor, it's a fairly dim scene, so you will want to use a large F-stop and a fairly fast ISO setting. F4 or 5.6 would be good, along with an ISO of 400. This will give you a reasonably bright image even with a short shutter speed such as 1/30th or faster to avoid blurring.
Don't try to handhold the camera, you'll get blur. Use a tripod, and remember, the Moon is moving and the Earth is turning, so it will move out of the frame fairly quickly.
As always when shooting a one-time scene, bracket, bracket, bracket! I will likely shoot all the way from 1/15th second at F4 and ISO 400, to 1/60 second at F5.6 and everywhere in between.
Lastly, if you're using film, take a few shots during the day to establish the frame positioning. The last thing you want is to have the lab cut your perfect shot in half!
:)
sorry for the confusion. I deleted the caption which relates to the solar eclipse.
In my original post above, I did attach the website info for Lunar eclipse date, time and places where you can view it in its full glory.
