Anthony - I couldnt even get manual focus! I kept thinking I was going blind

re the internet - I think my friends are too honest :) Its only me that think everything goes!
Anyway - so many of them had bad images - they have to be real  ;)

This is so reassuring!   There I was, thinking it was only me!

I see some lovely and sharp bloody moons.
Since, I am hooked on multiple exposure, please allow me to add my shot :)

Elsa:
I had to use manual focus part of the time too. Also kept the (manual) iso down to about 800 -1250, but probably even that was too high. Perhaps mirror up would have made shots sharper, but I was too sleepy to worry about such details. Of course, there will be a new chance in just 18 years  :)

Anthony:
My red blood moon has  only been adjusted for white balance and put in landscape mode on CNX2 - no pp in  PS or anything like that. Hence the red color is very real!

Yesterday morning between five and half past. Near end of eclipse.

As I was sleepy and due a thin layer of mist, I couldn't get something sharper. ???

Df+300mm AI ED. (on tripod). 1600 ISO. f/8. 1/40 sec.

The moon wasn't bloody, though...

No chance here, snowing and raining the whole time. So the lunar eclipse from April last year will have to do:

wow I love these Blood Moon shots !!! Thanks all for posting 'em !!!
We were overcast here in NJ south of NYC. I tried to persuade my SigOth to get in the car and drive a hundred miles so's we could see this, but he wasn't having any of that. oh well.

Elsa- Yes, in the long run we will all be dead, and in case we are still alive it may very well be raining :(  .
Fortunately, there will be ordinary total eclipses of the Moon (during which the Moon is not a "Super Moon")  more frequently  than each 18th year  :)
