Lunar eclipse December 10, 2011. As we had a clear night, this is sort of a "must have" shot.
Taken 22:48:25 local time. This was about 17 minutes after the "Greatest Eclipse" stage (14:31:49 UTC). "Greatest Eclipse": This is the peak stage of the total eclipse. At the Greatest Eclipse the Moon is at its closest point to the center of the Earth's umbra.

Partial Lunar Eclipse captured early this morning. The sunrise behind me made it hard to shoot and the hazy horizon didn't help much either! This was good practice for the September eclipse though.
Okay - so I had to go back and do a little editing. After my virtual trip to Singapore I decided I just couldn't resist! So here you have my all time best moon shot ever!
If only I had taken the camera with me to the grocery store tonight. I have never seen a more beautiful show of glory in the Heavens! Still a beautiful evening with the moon glowing brightly. Finished with my support calls to Singapore, Im a little late since it's an early morning tomorrow. I'll definitely catch up with everyone tomorrow. Have a lovely evening.

In a fit of laziness, I didn't hook up the astrotrac, which cost me some much needed exposure time to get the eclipsed area in nicer detail. Got clouded out before the eclipse reached totality, so this is the best I was able to get.
last arrival of 2013, I could see this lovely cutie only now that I'm back!
soooo lovely!
and big hugs to everybody :D :D happy new year!!!
handheld, quick shot taken at about 0700 this morning, 02Dec09......where is the little feller on a bike???...
Unfortunately, because of the cloudy weather, I made only photos a little after a full eclipse phase.

The lunar eclipse of July 27-28th 2018. Whilst it took some time for the moon to mature above the waters of Kustavi in the Finnish archipelago, it was well worth staying up so late to witness this phenomenon. Here the first rays of sun are reaching the moon again.
Started out the night at Seaside, totally cloudy in by 4am and light rain. Made the decision to run towards Portland on Hwy 26 and see if we could find a view. Near the Sunset Tunnel in TImber Oregon at a wide spot in the road got this shot, pretty much the only good one in the 15 minutes of the eclipse we got to watch. Still a good night!
Our near neighbor, the moon or Luna, found itself sulking in earth's shadow on October 8, 2014.
When in shadow, it became possible to see our most distant neighbor that is visible to the naked eye: Uranus (lower left).
Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the sun, but has a 17 hour rotation period. Unlike all the other planets in our Solar system, Uranus's axis of rotation is tilted 97 degrees and as a result those in the northern hemisphere of Uranus experience 42 earth years of darkness followed by 42 years of sunlight. Oh, and wind on Uranus reaches over 500 mph.
We got it good here on earth!
For whatever reason, earlier in the day I was not in the mindset that I was going to stay up for the lunar eclipse. It was peaking at midnight and I was tired, and I have photographed lunar eclipses many times. But as it turned out, I was wired. I was wide awake. So I ventured out in search of a subject to frame up with the moon, because just the moon by itself is not so interesting. I had driven around earlier searching for a suitable palm tree to frame with the moon, something preferably on a hill so I could be far enough away to shoot at 400mm to get the moon as big as I could manage and also have some chance at getting the tree in focus as well. I couldn’t find anything that matched that criteria, so I settled on a local tall Mexican date palm that was isolated. Instead of the long end of the 100-400mm lens range, I ended up on the short end, at just 100mm. I tried many attempts at focus stacking, but none worked, and it was pretty much moot anyway as the trees were blowing around in the wind. But, I like how this turned out in the end. What do you think?
