Moons N Such
Appreciate the comments. My first shots when it was more red were not remotely sharp - unfortunately downright blurry. So that was disappointing to not get the images at the stage I really wanted. I had it down to about a 6 second shutter speed, and I think that was just slow enough to get some blur from the movement of both the earth and moon I suppose (even though I was using a tripod and wireless release). At the point of this pic, it was getting brighter so I was able to speed the shutter speed up quite a bit to I believe 1/6.Joves wrote: There is nothing wrong with those. I wish I had been able to see it. The last Lunar Eclipse shots I got were not even as close color wise, it was not a great eclipse that time.
I was trying to keep my ISO low for noise, but in hindsight I guess some noise is better than blur. Next time around I'll crank up the ISO some more to get a more manageable shutter speed.
And living in MN, I was getting cold so finally just wanted to go back inside and curl up under the covers.
