Blood moon, at (yawn) pre-5AM today

[AlwaysOnAuto]

Don't know why I woke up, I didn't set the alarm but I was awake at 4:45 this morning.
Here's about the best I could get.
D7000 w/Nikkor 300mm f4.5 lens, manual focus, tripod, wired remote release, sitting on a cold concrete driveway.



Unfortunately we have a street light sitting across the street from us and it is almost in the line of sight when this was taken. It's off to the left at about the 8 o'clock position relative to the picture.

Nice try...our moon around in Planet Missouri is not a gorgeous as that one because the sun was already shining when it happened...there will be other times...

They say it happened at 10:00pm over here but where I am it was solid cloud and light rain so I wouldn't know if it happened or not:

You know what. When I woke up I thought about all the people who'd like to shoot it and couldn't either because of location or weather or whatever. THAT is what motivated me to get out there and take the shot.

Thanks all.

we are in the Philippines and it was actually waxing and waning between 17:00 and 23:00. we did not get a full eclipse but it was as full as this shot.

The combination of Black Saturday and the Blood Moon sure kept people quiet.

When I hit my snooze for the second time and finally disabled the alarm, it was because I was sure someone here would get out of bed and get this shot. Thank you!

I will die sleeping too and missing out on all the actions...
