Total Eclipse of the Harvest Super Moon
Moon photography is NOT easy. I wish I could really capture it like it looked. The sky was gorgeous just after moon rise when the clouds were moving past. But that image will have to remain in my minds eye, as I can't, even with editing, get the clouds and moon in the same image at the correct exposures. Here are three images from last night. The first is the moon just before the Penumbra began captured through my cheap telescope. There is a bit of vignetting along the edge due to hand holding the camera and not getting it lined up perfectly. That is eye-piece shadow, not earth shadow.
The second image does show earth's shadow. The third photo is about 15 minutes before greatest eclipse, but the exposure is much brighter than it really looked. The moon did not get this orange where I am. The same is true of the fourth photo.
