I must admit that when it comes to photography I am an extreme amateur. So what do you think?

Looks more like a coal-ash moon than a blood moon.

My wife was going to wake me up for viewing. However in her opinion it was not worth waking me up for.

Sure beats anything I got to see in person (thanks to clouds and rain and location). Good job!

Oh wow, awesome! Is that through a telescope? How did you get it without the light blurring everything?

It would be pretty good if that shadow hadn’t blacked out the moon;^)

So if I understand this scientifically, this is caused by Obamas head getting in between the sun and the moon causing the moon to go into darkness. Yes yes, I can see the outline of the ears on the moons surface.

Just think: It’s been up there in the sky for 4 billion years.

I think you done good. I only have my memory.

We are at 9,700 ft here. No clouds, no city light wash out. It was amazing with a million stars for a nice setting. It seemed I could almost reach out and pluck it from the sky.

Nice job!

Get John Hagee to add some commentary, and you’ll have a real winner there!

Good job! Thanks for sharing. My daughter and I did go out and watch for a few minutes, but I was afraid to stay up too long, and risk being unable to go back to sleep.

That’s pretty good. It’s too bad you couldn’t get the earth to stop turning. When I was a kid I taped an Instamatic to a binocular eyepiece and used the other for aiming at a lunar eclipse. It worked.

There are people who hand hold telescopes and get pictures of satellites. They’ve even been able to image spacewalkers. The key is to take hundreds of pictures and keep the few good ones.

Thanks!

Good Job! Astrophotography is tough. Plus, 3 more chances are on the way.

I stayed up to watch it, then got busy so missed it. Thanks for capturing it and sharing with us. Toward the end it appeared to be a purplish haze around the moon. Was that there, or some optical illusion from the film? Do you know?

That was very nice, thanks. Since I missed it I just got to enjoy it.

Kudos on the the job you did with what you had to work with… As stated earlier, Astrophotography can be very challenging. I kind of miss being able to do it anymore (NOT staying up all night at sub-freezing temperatures, however ;)
