| Summary: According
to folklore, October's full moon is called the "Blood Moon."
That's appropriate. On Oct. 27th and 28th, 2004, the full Moon turned
blood red when it passed through Earth's shadow. [full

Totality above LA
Harbor. We were fortunate to see the moon after a day of heavy
rains, even if clouds did obscure the last half of totality.
Taken at 255 UT on the 28th (755PM PDT) with A Canon Powershot
digital camera, ISO 400, 2 seconds exposure. This was my third
lunar eclipse observation in the last two years.

My first chance at photographing a total lunar eclipse was almost ruined by thick cirrus clouds that rolled in during most of totality. However, I was able to get this sequence of shots after the clouds cleared. Images were then composited with Photoshop. Nikon Coolpix 995, f5.6, 1/500 to 1/15 exposures.

Individual images were taken with an Olympus D450Z digital camera, afocal to a short tube refractor with a 13.8mm eyepiece. The refractor was mounted on top of a Meade LX90 in equatorial mode. An excellent night in New York for the eclipse.
