Lunar Eclipse Jan 31 2018

2018 January Super Blue Blood Lunar Eclipse. Got up at 3:30 AM, the sky was clear. The moon was spectacular big and bright. It did not get cloudy until it was past totality. Weather was pretty warm at first, but as the morning got later it seemed to chill down. Most photos of the totality has exposure issues. The moon was too dark to see on the cameras viewing screen. Had to hunt and peck to get an image centered. Good old Nikon D40 was put back into service to take the wide angle composite. Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) was used for post processing. The dog and I witnessed the moon together, Gorn was too lazy to get up.
