eclipsed

So there was a lunar eclipse tonight. I was all ready to take some really cool pics of it. Well I got a couple cool pics of the moon, but the pic of the full eclipse is pretty crappy.

Something that I didn’t know…the moon actually moves across the sky pretty quickly. So when you slow the camera down enough to capture what light there is from an eclipsed moon, the moon is moving fast enough to blur the picture.

Anyway here are the shots…
