Took a few pics of the Super Blood Wolf Moon this evening - besides star traces I've never tried to photograph the moon or stars - took some experimenting but was fun. Top shot shows the moon as the eclipse first started - bottom when its was almost fully eclipsed.

I'm sure you'll have probably seen hundreds of pictures of this by now, but here's the Super Blood Wolf Moon seen from Cumbria yesterday. It was absolutely freezing but such an amazing thing to witness. My astrophotography skills aren't the best so this picture isn't the greatest, but I thought I'd give it a go while I was there. Apparently the next time this will happen won't be until 2029, so glad I had the chance to experience it.
Last night's total lunar eclipse, or, if you prefer, the Super Blood Wolf Moon
The temperature was minus 5 degrees F and the wind chill was minus 23 degrees F when I was taking this photo, so I didn't stay outdoors for long trying to perfect the shot. :-)
Happy Moon Monday
It should be Super Blood Wolf Moon. But the weather in SF Bay Area didn't cooperate. It was raining during most of the event. Blood Moon and total eclipse was covered by cloud. I only saw partial eclipse afterward.

The skies parted briefly so I was just able to catch the moon in total eclipse. The conditions were very poor, I threw a rain coat over the camera when it started to rain and then gave up before the eclipse was over. The ISO was 6400 so it's got a lot of noise. This was shot from my front deck.
Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse is a mouthful!
East Tennessee had a break in skies just hours before the eclipse only to have a final blanket of cloud cover obscure the first two hours of the eclipse. So looking at this as a glass half-full situation I was able to start shooting about 15 minutes before totality began. Dark skies were used as a backdrop to this composite so you'll notice a few stars appear randomly in the background.

... Super Blood Wolf Moon - During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth's atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light. Due to this reddish color, a totally eclipsed Moon is sometimes called a blood moon.
Sequence of the Super Blood Wolf Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse on January 20-21, 2019, near Punta Gorda, Florida
What a spectacle! Awesome to watch tonight's incredible lunar show unfold from the comfort of our Vancouver home!
According to the Vancouver’s H.R. Macmillan Space Centre, the phenomenon is a combination of a larger-than-usual looking January full moon that will turn red, thanks to a lunar eclipse.
“It’s a supermoon, which means when the moon is in its orbit around the earth,” explained space centre astronomer Kat Kelly, “there’s a closest point to earth and a furthest away point from earth, and tonight is its closest point.”
“It’s also a lunar eclipse, and that’s the blood moon part, because what you’re going to see this evening is the moon will turn red, and that’s because the moon goes through the moon’s shadow … and as the moon goes through the earth’s shadow it turns red.
“And the wolf part is just because this is the first full moon in January,” Kelly said. “So historically and culturally, the first full moon in January, people would have heard wolves howling in hunger.”
The combination of all three events is so rare it’s only happened three times in the last century, Kelly said.
Even the combination of a lunar eclipse and a supermoon together won’t happen again until the 2030s, she added.

Happy Moon Monday! Well, I finally got around to putting together the shots from the eclipse cycle this past January. I took a series shots, each about 6 to 7 minutes apart over a span of 3 hours 45 minutes, but for this about every other shot. Chico, Texas, USA, January 2019

I already gave up chasing the super blood wolf moon this year since the weather forecast was very bad. But just as the day started to break and here it was in front of my house front door. There was no time to prepare and I had to take the shots handheld before it's gone completely.
Unfortunately I had no idea what settings to use to shoot last nights super moon.
The result was a lot of unusable images. This is one of the better ones which isn't anywhere near sharp.
Oh well, there is always 2021.
Super Blood Wolf Moonrise over Granger Lake..
Part of the sunset last light was blocked by clouds resulting a purple hue at the left and bluish color at the right part of the sky..

The Lunar eclipse on January 20th, 2019 seen through a Celestron Edge HD 800. What a treat it is to live in a place dark enough to see the transition of the light falling from a full moon to an eclipsed one on the landscape.
FL: 300mm • ISO 1250 • f/8 • 4 secs. Ambient temperature hovered around the upper 30's.
Taken in Seattle, WA USA near Discovery Park.
It was a challenge to get the moon manually tack sharp. Stabilisation was disabled and Live View used to focus on the details as best as possible. I suspect my shutter speed may have been too long and aperture probably needed to be f/11-16? I'm proud however I made the attempt in hopes I'll learn to improve upon for future lunar eclipses.
I apologise if you have already seen hundreds of images of the total lunar eclipse today. I miraculously woke up at about 4.30am to glimpse the moon starting it's eclipse outside from the bedroom window. I missed the last one August 2017 so it was very nice, if a little cold, to watch and photograph this one despite lots of passing cloud.
It was lovely watching the moon rise tonight and the black bird in the background.. I will be getting up at 2am in the hope of seeing the #SuperBloodWolfMoon #LunarEclipse :)
Very cool to see the lunar eclipse on a clear (but bone-chilling) night in DC! The sky was super clear so it was a stunning sight to see a red sphere (or blood moon) hovering high in the clear sky. It was very windy in DC so I setup the tripod low in our driveway between our parked vehicles. I didn't have a problem with camera shake but I would have out in the open.
Tech details: the photos on the end are at ISO 100; the next two are ISO 400; the middle one is ISO 3200. Shutter speeds vary but the middle one was 1/13s at f7.1. All were shot at 600mm.
Timings from left to right: 22m before full eclipse; 8m before full eclipse; 2m before maximum eclipse; 5m past full eclipse; 18m past full eclipse.
Explored: January 23, 2019
The moon reappearing after the eclipse. Stumbled out of bed too late to see the full eclipse & managed a handheld shot out of the bedroom window !
Let me just say it's 16° outside right now. And windchill feels like -300. I lost 4 fingers in the process of the night. Whoever stays up later is just insane. The last time it was this cold I was skating on the National Mall. .

I was fortunate to find a clear winter sky for the Super Blood Wolf and eclipse full moon event of January, 2019. This was on the eve of the eclipse event but at least it wasn't raining or clouded over so I went for it at the time. We will see what the weather gives us this evening for the eclipse event.
It was a large crop with my longest lens (500mm) and the moon was only 925px across so I upsampled the composition to 3000px using Topaz' AI Gigapixel software and that gave me a lot more information to work with. That seems to be the best upsizing software to date and it is amazing, using AI to create the new pixels. Who would have thought?
Thank you my flickr friends for your warm and kind visits as we are deeply into the cold of winter! :)

Managed to catch glimpses of the lunar eclipse in occasional breaks in the cloud, unfortunately conditions were still a bit hazy so was hard to get a clear shot. This is just after the full eclipse.
Mountains were taken in a separate shot, then layered in my edit. The moon was not full eclipse at this point, but I liked the last bit of light hitting off of it. There was cloudy haze during the eclipse which cast an interesting glow around the moon. It really was a spectacular night, even with the on and off haze getting in the way.
Tonight's Super Blood Wolf Moon. Clouds pulled away in time but it is Very cold and windy making it hard to take a steady photo. 13 degrees F, wind chill feels like -3...
These were the best of a series of about 30 that were taken between about 11:15 PM and 12:15 AM (the peak of the eclipse) ET using exposures between 2 and 10 seconds using a 300 mm zoom lens on a tripod. Most were too blurry due to the winds shaking the tripod.
