Lunar eclipses are fantastic to experience and, fortunately, they are a whole lot easier to observe than their solar counterparts.
Unlike solar eclipses, you don't need to be in a specific place to see them -- so long as you can see the moon then you can enjoy the eclipse. Also unlike solar eclipses, you don't need any special equipment to observe them.

While I love the Nikkor 60mm as my day-to-day lens, it is not well suited to astrophotography. I imagine the 80-200 VR would be a much better selection.
Still, the requisite eclipse shot, just before absolute, complete orange. Best viewed big to see any detail.
