Try to catch the moon and lunar eclipse

rocky outcrop Bradshaw Mts Skull Valley AZI watched the moon rise near home for almost a week before May’s full moon and lunar eclipse to get an idea where it would crest on the horizon.  Looked good for a rocky outcrop of the Bradshaw Mountains in the middle ground.  And then there were clouds.

The sky turned from gray to gold before a glorious goodnight.

The next day, heavy wind kept me inside working at the computer all day.  It felt cool and the nights low dropped below 40°.  No, it didn’t snow.  But the electricity went out for several hours and I didn’t even notice until opening the electric fridge for lunch.  Everything else in my RV home works fine with propane and batteries.  Thankfully power was restored before going to bed and I even ran a little heat.

I wanted to get an early start in the morning for chores starting with the dump then Prescott for shopping and maybe laundry.  The later didn’t happen as the tiny parking lot was too full to accommodate my big rig.  Not my favorite chore anyway and I still have clean clothes.  Have you ever discovered a new to you place that’s been there forever in an area you shop regularly?  When I go to Prescott I usually stay on the west side of town, it’s a huge town of 45 square miles with a population of 43,460 as of 2020.  And it continues to grow in all directions.  In fact, I think the sleepy ranch community of Skull Valley has become a bedroom community of Prescott.  Anyway, when I got to town hungry for breakfast I discovered a Dennys in the same parking lot as the Wallys I’ve shopped at for at least 15 years.  And guess what, it’s been there at least that long.  I don’t eat out often, or at this restaurant frequently, but I do like their breakfast.


new vacuum

Exchanged a mini-shop vac for a Dirt Devil upright that’s suppose to pick up pet hair.  Ha, ha.  No vacuum with a revolving brush isn’t going to become immoveable once wrapped with my hair and long cat fur.  I should know better.  Otherwise, it works well.


tie dye chair

 

 

 

Best buy of the day, a tie-dye looking camp chair.  A friend says they won’t be able to find me sitting in it because this ole hippie likes tie-dye clothing.  Ran into a Yarnell friend and we chatted in the aisle for almost an hour.  Maybe I should get out more.

 

Western Tanager bird Skull Valley AZ

Naw, I’d rather stay home and watch the outdoor world.

Side-blotched lizard on matate Skull Valley AZAfter a day of shopping I stayed home.  Yet there’s plenty of activity as the daytime temperatures rise into the high 80s and the various lizards provide entertainment scurrying about.  I’m getting to know them by name, Fred, Ann, Wendy…  The side-blotched lizards put on the most colorful show in a rainbow of colors.  This shot is highly cropped and taken through a window.  It’s a regular hanging out on the metate decorating my yard.  Good thing I can be so easily amused at home because with the rising cost of fuel, especially the diesel I need, I won’t be going very far anytime soon.

almost full moon Skull Valley AZThe ranch even provides open and dark sky views to watch the moon and lunar eclipse, if there are no clouds.


Raven in tree top Skull Valley AZ

With the next day’s high pushing 90° outside, which means almost 100° in the RV, I took advantage of the cool morning to work inside on the computer.  I find myself spending way more time with editing video thrown into the mix of processing still photos and writing blog posts.  I enjoy it.  I’m trying not to run the noisy and expensive AC but have fans moving the air around.  I just don’t like AC but if I’m here for the summer will have to get used to it.  I’ve been trying to change my sleeping pattern by going to bed an hour earlier and gain the chill time in the morning.  Fortunately, with a late afternoon breeze and shade I can sit outside in my new chair reading and once again watching the world.  I learned that from Raven.

The next morning started off cool inside but warmed quickly and by 8:30 all windows and the door were open.  Then closed again just before noon when I turned on the AC and continued to work on the video 5th-wheel tour.


curled grass Skull Valley AZ

May 15th, opening day for the North Rim Grand Canyon I felt a little homesick.  Sure hope I can make it up there at some point this summer.  Heck, if the temperatures here climb over 100° I may move in the truckcamper to the 8000’ Kaibab National Forest and become a hermit there.  I can move every 14 days with amazing views along the rim.

grass brush clouds Skull Valley AZI did manage to get outside in the afternoon and watched the clouds dance and flow.  Something I love, but not on the evening of a full moon and lunar eclipse.

What’s up doc?

As I stood on the berm in my yard watching the sunset I saw a coyote and jackrabbit giving me the eye.

cloudy penumbral lunar eclipse Skull Valley AZSadly, low clouds on the horizon blocked the first rise as the moon entered the Earth’s shadow.

moon & lunar eclipseThen it rose above the clouds close to totality giving a glimpse of the dim red known as a Blood moon and lunar eclipse.  So fortunate to see this much before clouds covered the whole show.  That’s as far as I saw until a late-night glow filled the 5th-wheel as I went to bed.

Sierra on arm desk Skull Valley AZOf course the next day I had lots of photos to process with the help of my assistant.  So I once again stayed inside and turned on the AC in the afternoon.  I’m not getting outside to walk enough.  A dear friend suggested I change my morning pattern more than just up an hour earlier.

fence line Skull Valley AZSo the next day I set the alarm for 6:30am, dressed, grabbed the camera and a bottle of water, and out the door I went for a walk on the ranch.  Walked the eastern fence line, made a left and started to climb a hill along the northern fence but too much brush, so turned around.  I walked sauntered about 3/4 mile in an hour taking pictures along the way.

Jackrabbit Skull Valley AZ

cattle fence meadow Skull Valley AZStartled lots of bunnies, saw Blackie with another cow, and listened to the birds.

Not a lot of wildlife but did see a lot of track and scat.  Then back for coffee at about the time I’d normally wake up.  And I did it again the following day, taking and making a video.  Will I walk every morning like that?  Probably not.  I’m not that disciplined.  But with summer days getting warmer I will keep trying to get up earlier, and some mornings get out and walk.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Sometimes posting a week behind is confusing, writing in the past tense, double that with video which is more NOW.

I’m already tired of staying home and feeling itchy feet but high fuel prices is like having severe blisters so can’t go anywhere.  Heck I’d think about returning to work at high elevation, but I really don’t have time.  Besides it’s more fun to make a video exploring with a friend.

The next full moon and lunar eclipse visible in Arizona occurs November 8, 2022.  I’m thinking about a meetup in the desert.  How about you?

An invitation to a Lunar eclipse meetup

This is an invitation to watch, and photograph, the January 20th lunar eclipse at the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.  I was there last year, I’m going back, and hope others will join me.

02 DSC_8568hdrlerw desert mt full moon returning from eclipse sunrise clouds Kings Valley Rd Kofa NWR AZ g-HDR-1One of the challenges I’ve set myself this year is to improve my night photography.  First that means dragging myself, and the tripod, outside after dark.  That in itself might be a huge challenge especially when the temperatures are below my ideal.  I guess wearing more layers will help.

03a DSC_8576hdrep2lelerwfb returning moon set Chocolate Mts Kofa NWR AZ g fb c1-19 g_HDR-1-1-2

03b eclipse timeline phoenixLast year only a partial lunar eclipse was visible in Arizona and that required getting up in the wee hours of the morning.  This time we can see the entire eclipse from 7:35pm to 12:48am, depending on how late you want to stay up.

04 eclipse mapHere in Arizona, and I think most of the USA, no other eclipses, lunar or solar, will be visible this year.

05a World night lights by NOAA

05b USA night lights by NOAA

05c Night lights by NOAALook how bright our world is at night

To take full advantage of seeing the eclipse a dark place is needed with the least amount of surrounding light pollution.  I know Palm Canyon Road on the Kofa fits that bill.  It is situated between Yuma to the south and Quartzsite to the north.  Not only dark but also quiet in the wide open spaces of the Sonoran Desert with mountains around.  This is also a great place for sunrise and sunset.

Kofa Mountains sunrise Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaCamping is free on the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.  However, campsites cannot be located within ¼ mile of water sources and vehicles must remain within 100 feet of the road.   Campfires are permitted.  You’ll have to bring your own wood.  Please remember fire light would be an issue for night sky viewing.

07 DSC_8441lecrw lunar eclipse Kofa NWR AZ g-1-3-1Although this is the desert nights get cold so come prepared.  Red lights for after dark so night vision isn’t impaired.  A chair or lounger for comfort and maybe wrapped in a blanket depending on what happens with the weather.  Maybe bring a snack to share for the evening of the eclipse.  Otherwise, this is a BYO everything else event.

Services are limited in Quartzsite.  Yuma has most anything.

The big tent RV show is in Quartzsite from January 19th through the 27th.  Plus lots of other events and ‘stuff’ for sale.  If you have a RV want list it’s a good time to shop.

10 DSC_9020hdrep2lerw CA Palms light Palm Canyon Trl Kofa NWR AZ fb npm azp g_HDR-1-2Then there’s the nearby Palm Canyon trail that I’ve hiked before and plan to hike again.  Plus many other places to explore in the area.

11 DSC_8294hrlerw Kofa Mts moon rise Kofa NWR AZ fb gfb azp g-HDR-1-1We can hope for clear skies.  And maybe try some new ideas with our photography like light-painting a saguaro cactus, or setting up people for a silhouette against the full moon.  Maybe video or how about some vlogging?

12 ephemeris mapI need to study the PhotoPills app videos to learn about the set up for this eclipse.

After a few days around Quartzsite and Kofa I’m hoping to head further south to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and or the BLM just south of Ajo.

14 DSC_8627hdrlecrw almost full moon Kofa NWR AZ fb g-HDR-1-1Of course I’m excited about this.  Haven’t had a vacation since July.  So today I’m getting the camper propane tanks refit and certified.  And soon I’ll be packing.  Hope you can join me.  Let’s howl at the moon!

15 DSC_9026hdrep2lerw La Posa Plain Dome Rock Mts from Palm Canyon trl Kofa NWR AZ g_HDR-1-2How to get there

East side of US Highway 95 approximately 63 miles north of Yuma and 18 miles south of Quartzsite, Arizona near milepost 85.  Sign reads Palm Canyon and the gravel road is usually in pretty good shape, a little rough, but could be nasty after rain.  Seven miles to parking for Palm Canyon Trailhead.  I’ll be somewhere along that road.  Now is when it would be nice to have a GPS unit so I could give exact coordinates for my location.  Yet I’ve always found cell signal out there.  And you know what my truck and camper look like.  Give me a shout.

Although the government shutdown closes some public lands this area shouldn’t be affected.  Plus we can hope the shutdown is over by then.

Super Blue Blood Lunar Eclipse at Kofa NWR

phases lunar eclipse arc Kofa National Wildlife Refuge AZOn January 31, 2018, a Super Blue Blood Lunar Eclipse appeared for the first time in 150 years.  While none of these astronomical events are rare in themselves, together is a big deal.  The moon is ‘Super’ because it’s 14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual.  The second full moon of the month is called a ‘blue moon’ even though it is not the color blue.  And during a total lunar eclipse the moon passes through Earth’s shadow giving it a red tint, or ‘blood’ color.

returning moon eclipse Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaIt’s sort of like, once in a blue moon.

saguaro sunset Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaAfter a week on the compact desert too close to Quartzsite and other RVs I moved about 40 miles south to the BLM adjacent to Kofa National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) along Palm Canyon Road.  It’s a more dense desert with mountains all around but also provides some far views.  I thought it might work for the lunar eclipse in the early morn of Wednesday.

photopills augumented reality moon rise Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaI downloaded the PhotoPills app onto my Android and had three days to figure out why.  Thank goodness for a strong signal as I watched videos, read articles and played with this powerful little app for photographers.  Maps, charts, suggestions, and augmented reality made it possible to line up moon and sun, rise and set, along the actual horizon I’m looking at.  It was close, there are mountains.  Not sure how to adjust for that yet.

desert sunset sunrays Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaFor a slight change in vegetation I moved east a bit the next morning to be surrounded by more desert plants: multi-armed saguaros, jumping cholla that glistens in the sun, lime-green twisted palo verde, lots of creosote bushes, beavertail cactus, and some other scrubby stuff I don’t know by name.

Kofa spiral labyrinth Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaHowever I ended up parked a little too close to the Kofa spiral labyrinth which I knew nothing about.  Can’t see it from the road but folks come looking so there’s a bit too much traffic for my taste.

Kofa Mountains sunrise Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaI planned to move again the next morning.  But not until after the breathtaking 360° sunrise that rose with wings over the Kofa Mountains to the East.  Color engulfed the horizon and sent a cherry glow to the surrounding landscape, Southeast the Castle Dome Mountains, Southwest the Chocolate Mountains (how can you not like those?), Northwest the Dome Rock Mountains, and me sitting in the middle of it all.  I even took video on the phone but I’m not sure it will load here.

desert Kofa Mountains Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaWhere I thought the moon would rise

PhotoPills calculated when and where the 96.7% waxing gibbous moon rose over the mountains using augmented reality.  I was off a bit as it’s difficult to see in the phone’s screen with sun shinning on it.  Plus I haven’t figured out how to add “obstacles” to alter the actual time the moon would break this elevated horizon line.  Definitely a learning curve, but fun.  I am amazed by the possibilities.  I can even plan in advance and save for offline use.

desert Kofa Mountains moon Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaI wanted to photograph the moon as big as possible so swapped into my largest lens, 55-300mm.  Not exactly wide angle or all that much zoom/telephoto, but it’s what I have and was happy with the results.

Kofa Mountains moon rise Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaRebecca (an excellent photographer) and husband showed up Tuesday afternoon in time for a brew before catching the 99.6% waxing gibbous moon rising over the Kofa Mountains along with a little bit of sunset.  She pulled out the big lens at 400mm with a 1.5x teleconverter.  Wish I’d taken a photo of that set up.

Then early to bed with the alarm set for 3:30am to catch the beginning of the super blue moon lunar eclipse.

lunar eclipse Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaI set up the tripod Wednesday and shot the moon, repeatedly, for about an hour from the presumably 3:51am start time but noticed no change to the moon.   The bright light of the full moon sent shadows across the desert floor however was still too high in the sky to include any landscape.  The 47°F was tolerable with multiple layers and a hat.  Yes, I’m a weenie, even in Arizona.

lunar eclipse Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaThe eclipse’s phases lasted over three hours as the Earth moved between the moon and sun.  I set the tripod near the camper and stepped out of the warmth every ten minutes to shoot a bracketed image.  Had the remote batteries not been dead I probably could have shot from inside.  Does seem a little like cheating, but if it was colder I would try.  Definitely takes some commitment.

lunar eclipse Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaSadly, focusing on the moon in the dark isn’t easy and by the time the blood moon arrived approaching totality the camera was out of focus and those shots are all blurry.  Then it got really dark with an infinite starry sky which I also failed at photographing.  This is when I probably should have bumped up the ISO.

Kofa Mountains sunrise Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaFinally around 7am the eastern sky began to lighten.

saguaro returning moon set Chocolate Mountains Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaThe returning moon slipped down low enough to see the mountainous horizon and a little foreground.

returning moon set Chocolate Mountains Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaThen disappeared before returning to full.  Exciting!

Several days in the desert have warmed to about 80°.  I love it!!!  But it’s not right and shouldn’t be this warm the end of January.  Also surprising is the lack of wind and thus a palpable silence in the desert.

almost full moon Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaThat night I enjoyed the gloaming once again, 99.6% but now waning gibbous, shrinking.  Have struggled to remember waxing and waning until I thought about waxing as adding dribbles on an old Sangria bottle.  Hey, it works for me.

desert road almost full moon set Earth shadow Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaAnd Thursday morning I didn’t need to be up so early to catch the almost 8am sunrise followed by a fading moon-set into the Earth’s shadow.

What I learned

Got some good shots and learned some lessons for next time.  July 27, 2018, the next total lunar eclipse will be visible from South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.  Guess I’ll miss that one.  Not until January 20-21, 2019 in North America, so I’m sure to have forgotten much and will study it all again.  Using PhotoPills really helped with pre-planning.  Research helped with camera settings.  I didn’t change the ISO from 200 throughout the shoot and probably should have during totality but don’t like to go over 800 as images get grainy.  Bracketing with the long exposures resulted in blur.  Check focus more frequently.  Go to bed earlier for that early of a shot although I did take an afternoon nap after Rebecca and husband left Wednesday.

The next Super Blue Blood Lunar Eclipse happens 12-31-28.  Wonder where I’ll be for that New Year’s Eve celebration?

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…
