Tonight's lunar eclipse is almost upon us! Once the time comes (3:07-4:24am EST), let's see those moon photos - share them in this thread I will be taking the F* 250-600mm for a spin tonight.

Here's a guide we've put together on shooting the moon. It also contains specifics about this particular eclipse:

Here's an example of what we might see tonight as the moon passes through Earth's shadow:

i didnt either, i only used 13 seconds as the longest exposure time and noticed no motion blur, but maybe with longer exposures problems could occur

The red eclipse mood has to start with a moonrise, right... So, here's the first one...
Had some clear shots - unfortunately, some light cloud/haze came in about the same time as the moon was turning red.
Here's a few of the 'red' moon with my 'red' K-30 and old Simga 18-200mm DC

amazing very sharp shot. The Pentax GPS unit must have worked well (13 sec).
