Lunar eclipse

I got some decent photos of tonight’s lunar eclipse, until clouds from a storm coming in from the west finally obscured the view. The first shows the moon in about 1/3 shadow, (f5.6 for 1/80th of a second). The second shows the red coloration starting as the moon is in about three-quarters shadow (f5.6 for 1/3rd of a second).

I caught a glimpse of the moon in total shadow through a break in the clouds, but couldn’t find it quickly enough with the camera to get a photo. The color by that point was a dark red. The photos were taken about ten miles north of Tucson, Arizona.

  1. So stunning. It was too cloudy here for us to see any of it.

  2. Great pics – I was hoping to view it here but we were fogged in. Found this link to some more great pics… http://www.photographybay.com/2010/12/22/36-stunning-lunar-eclipse-photos/
