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 story]

Here is the revised,corrected lunar eclipse photo. Please disregard the previous image sent as it was a rushed image during a busy work period. Trying to capture the sequence w/ a rising eclipsed full moon was a bit of a challange as our eclipse here began with a bright cloudy sky. Each image would recieve additional light washing out moon detail, so a hybrid film/digital image was composited to make this image. Aloha Rob

The eclipse began just after moonrise over Seattle. I positioned myself to capture this 'Double Eclipse' - initial Earth shadow and Columbia Tower high rise eclipsing the moon. Nikon Coolpix 5700 1/3sec, F4.1, ISO 100, 6:09PM PDT

The sky was crystal clear during the lunar eclipse and I was able to observe the entire eclipse. I took pictures of the moon at ten minute intervals and combined them to a single frame. The background picture was taken before the eclipse began with the moon lighting the scenery. Photo details: Canon Powershot G3 at ISO 50 setting. Exposures ranging from 1/250s to 8s at f/5.6.

I went to Kas, a small Mediterranean town about 190 km southwest of Antalya, Turkey, where I observed the eclipse from the very point that I had observed the lunar eclipse of 9th November last year. #1: A few minutes after the end of totality, the Moon was about to set behind Toros (Taurus) Mountains. 06:53 GMT+3 #2: I used a 17 mm f/2.8 fisheye lens for this 90-second exposure showing the Moon in the western sky. The tube of my telescope can also be seen at the bottom, as I piggybacked the camera on it.

The Lunar Eclipse locally was mostly blocked out by cloud cover. There were few, brief opportunities to view the eclipse. Photo details: Canon 1DS, 70-200 ISL lens with 2x extender mounted on a Takahashi SP-TG mount.

This was made by taking 37 images on one frame of film. A nikon n8008 was used at f/5.6 with ASA 100, and exposures ranging from 1/125 down to 4 and 15 seconds. (I'm sorry if this gets submitted twice. I realize that when I submitted yesterday, the image did not appear after I hit 'preview.' I don't know if it is supposed to).

I was taking images every five minutes in order to make my animation. On most of my frames I have bird crossings, but this is the largest and most clear. Orion ST80 + ATIK 2HS camera + Meade Lunar Filter + Mogg Focal Reducer.
