Thanks everyone. Here is the picture info:

Camera: Nikon D50
Lens: Nikon 70-200mm F2.8 ED VR
Exposure: 4 seconds at F/2.8, 200mm, VR off, ISO 800

I had forgotten about the lunar eclipse until my wife saw it out the window. There was no time to set up the big telescope so I just used the tripod and took some random shots. Earlier I had thought about taking some shots but had calculated that it was going to be too low. You can see that it was not far away from the tree line.

At what time did this happen? I heard about it but I never got a chance to see it sad.gif .

Also, isn't there some apocolyptic story about the moon turning blood red?

Sorry Crossy Pool, I am an innocent. I'm so old, even the vampires reject me.

Nem, that picture was taken at 6am EST.

Thanks! Yes, the D70 is a digital camera.

I haven't done much astrophotography recently but I have in the past. Some of those pictures are on my website:

http://www.af9y.com

By the way, I sent the lunar eclipse picture to one of our local TV stations and they featured it during the news. One of the news reporters questioned if it was real so I sent an email with details on the processing used and a link to my previous astrophotography photos. He retracted his statements on air today. biggrin.gif
