Blood Moon

I've taken a long, hard look at the reality........ of the Lunar Eclipse photos I took overnight whilst on holiday. No tripod and high ISO with shutter speeds about 1/8s at times (handheld) so best that I could achieve given the circumstances.

Hopefully captured something of the "blood red" moon that occurs with a full eclipse.

Not sure who moved this to a new thread - but fair enough - and - thank you. (The opening phraseology makes a little more sense in the previous thread!)

One of the shots has been used on the BBC website (with something of a paraphrasing of the information I gave them - but the general principle is right.)

Nice one, think it was daylight by the time the eclipse happened here otherwise I would have got up for this.

Last one is vey noice, even with the over exposure, kinda works

I promised I wouldn't, but I may have to get a t mount for the scope for a few moon shots

No need for motorised gubbins on those
