TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
Live from Hawaiʻi
7-8 November 2022 (HST)
An initiative to live stream the 7-8 November 2022 total lunar eclipse from the island of Hawaiʻi.
The Total Lunar Eclipse will be live-streamed from three different locations on the Island of Hawaiʻi, with three different types of equipment. Each live stream will have a different but complementary field of view and will be carried out by three different groups:
One of the live streams will be carried out by Project PANOPTES from Mauna Loa. A highly sensitive video camera built and deployed by Christopher Chock, an Akamai Internship Program student at Subaru Telescope, will be used for the live stream.
Another live stream is planned by the group 'Starry Knights' (a team of two postdocs from Subaru telescope and Keck telescope) at Waimea, a city in the northern part of Hawaiʻi. They will live stream a video feed of the eclipse using a long telephoto lens with a field of view that only shows the Moon in closeup.
The Subaru-Asahi Star Camera (at Maunakea) will play a unique role in this network of live streams by relaying the ever-changing starry sky and ground scenery caused by the lunar eclipse rather than the moon itself.
Watch all three live streams simultaneously!
