Two photos of tonight’s Lunar eclipse, the first a standard focus to infinity time exposure (you can see how far Earth’s rotation blurred it by the star-trail) The second taken at 1/125th and 1600 ASA. Click the thumbnails to see the large versions.

    Very cool. I took a bunch of photos, but didn’t think them worthy of posting. Too much haze here to get a clear shot.

    I’ve got haze here as well, but I know some tricks — a 300 mm telephoto helps for one thing 🙂

    Nice.

    Here in LA, the clouds broke open just in time to watch the eclipse then covered up the sky again an hour later.
