WARWICK residents will wake up with a blood moon in the early morning over the next few weeks.
On July 27, the longest lunar eclipse of the century will take place and transform the moon into a fiery red, a remarkable sight to be seen according to local astrological photographer Mike Geisel.
"It could be quite spectacular that light travels through the earth's atmosphere and shines on the moon, turning it into a red color," Dr. Geisel said.
There is no need for telescopes to see the mundane event as Dr. Geisel said that it could be captured on a single camera.
"The best way to capture the moon if you use a standard camera will be to use a tripod, or try to mount the camera on a stable surface," Dr. Geisel said.
"And you will need to use a pretty long zoom.
"Depending on your camera, you may need to press the ISO sensitivity to increase sensitivity in the dark."
Dr. Geisel said that by taking pictures of the moon, he would appear small on the picture.
"It's an optical illusion, we see the moon as a large area compared to the horizon and the trees," he said.
"But when you take a picture, it will go up very small."
He suggested you first look at the moon through a cardboard cylinder, because that is what the camera will probably capture.
For those who want to be in bed to attend the rare event, the eclipse will be at maximum and will start to turn red from 5:30 am.
To be sure that it does not fail, Dr. Geisel said to look to the west as the moon was heading in that direction.
