Camera used: Canon 5D MKIII

I don't really have long enough lenses to do astrography properly, but "shooting the moon" once and awhile is fun.

This is an almost total eclipse of the moon, called the 'Blood Moon' (note, no photoshop done on this photo other than cropping). It initially looks simply like the moon is just at a different phase until it's pretty much blocked by the earth's shadow... it looked like this for only 78 minutes!

We had a freak snowfall tonight when I went out to do this (yes, at 3:03am!) so I wasn't out there too long, but was able to get a few shots, including this one. The star you see on the right is Spica, part of the Virgo constellation and the 15th brightest star in the night sky (and thus visible in this photo too).

Three years ago, I also photographed the 'super moon', which is actually the last time I pointed my camera to the skies at night.
