This is the best photo I had from the February 2008 Lunar Eclipse. I was in class for most of the eclipse, coming out about the time the moon started to leave the shadow of the Earth.
Even though they said it wasn't going to be as good as the West Coast, I found the Lunar Eclipse to be very good viewing this morning here on the East Coast.

After singing in a choral concert which ended at 9:30, I drove home, got a few hours sleep, and then arose at 12:45 (Tucson time) to catch the Lunar Eclipse. The sky was "mostly cloudy" and it took patience to wait for momentary clearance. When the sky was clear, it was really beautiful, if only briefly. This shots are all approximately 10 minutes apart, beginning at 1:29 am, catching the totality and then emergence, at 2:24 a.m. You can really see the brightening as time elapses.
A few weeks ago, I decided to stay up late (really late) to see the lunar eclipse. It occurred in the early morning hours on the Winter Solstice (a rare event). The totality lasted from 2:41 am to 3:53 am. Luckily, the clouds stayed away for the first half of the totality, but then, they rolled in to cover the eclipse for the second half. It was neat to see the Moon like that.

Lunar Eclipse - Dec 21st 2010 as seen from Tampa, FL. It was a clear night. Eclipse started almost 1:40AM EST and by 2:30AM EST, Moon was totaly eclipsed. Have taken here multiple shots as the eclipsed progressed.
Even though they said it wasn't going to be as good as the West Coast, I found the Lunar Eclipse to be very good viewing this morning here on the East Coast.
My first attempt at this moon photo business. Let's say that I've learned a few things (and the main one being 'be prepared' - do not start looking up the User guide on the laptop to find out where the self timer switch is on the new camera at 2.30 a.m.).
September 28th 2015 saw a full lunar eclipse, which coincided with a 'super moon', a time when the moon is closest to earth. This shot shows it approaching the peak of the eclipse when the moon turned orangey red.

In honor of tonight's lunar eclipse - with the help, as always, of the stone textures of the Isle of Lewis.
