Total Lunar Eclipse 2015

A few of us went out to an easterly facing hill this evening to see a “blood moonrise”.
There was a good looking haze on the horizon – it might be good.

Then the keenest observer among us said

I see something

And sure enough – this is what she saw.
Alien-ish

(full disclosure: this is 4 layers of the same image stacked and multiplied to get proper saturation)
BopOp, this is the best I had with “trees in the foreground”. 🙂

Most of my other pictures came out pretty meh…

This one, about 40 minutes later turned out pretty good.
Another 2 image stack, multiplied, to take out the hazy/noisy background.
Pretty Red

  1. This has encouraged me to seriously begin looking for a photography location with trees at the correct distance for a telephoto picture of moon craters.
