Tomorrow, at 4:29 am Alaska time, there will be a lunar trifecta that hasn’t happened since 1982 (l’m sure some of you weren’t even born yet), this being a blue moon (second full moon in a calendar month), coupled with a “Blood Moon” (a total lunar eclipse). Here’s the moon a couple minutes ago from my front porch. I will be up tomorrow am and post a photo or two of the “Blood Blue Moon”.

Don't forget, it's a Super Blue Blood Moon since it's also a Super Moon. Also, I have the eclipse starting at 4:51 PST which would be 3:51 for you Alaska folks and ending around 4:30 for you. Just thought I'd mention it so you don't wake up late :D

Article I was reading said this hasn't happened since 1866 as well.

I'm traveling out of state without my camera gear, so I missed my chance to shoot it. Bummer. I did get to see it from Oklahoma, so at least there's that.

Just another moon from before the eclipse. Full moons are pretty easy since they are so bright but the blood moon was a bit of a challenge. I had to "cheat" a little since my camera can track the sky. I could get 2-3 second exposures at lower ISO's.

This one was 1/250 at f11 ISO 100 at 420mm. The blood moon above was 3.6s at f5.6 ISO 200 at 420mm. Huge difference in light.

I liked your shot and the others who posted their version here as well.

I saw one on FB earlier today where they got the whole track of the ISS as it passed across the moon during the eclipse. I am going to have to try to get a single shot of the space station one time.

That would be an awesome shot. I'm thinking you'd need some really special equipment to get the ISS during an eclipse. To freeze the ISS in front of a "dark" moon will take a really fast and long lens. I'm guessing a nice telescope with camera on a tracking mount but even then, you need to have it pulling in enough light to freeze the ISS. I'd be happy to just catch it on a well lit moon but it takes more planning than what this lazy guy wants to put in :D

Oh, photo...
