    Blood Moon of April 15, 2014

    Marlena and I stayed up last night to see and photograph the 'blood moon' last night. We drove about 85 miles west of Phoenix, stayed through the whole total lunar eclipse and finally got back home just before 3am. Still going through the shots, but here's one of them.

    Great photo Steve! I as well saw it up here in Oregon but not as well as you all did. Hat's off to your photograph nice job.
    (my cell phone picture you can hardly see it.)

    Great pic! What settings did you use for this shot? We had snow showers going on here in Michigan, so we didn't get any view of it.
    The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Shot this on a Nikon 600 at 120mm for 4 seconds at f/11 and ISO 2500.

    Beautiful pics! We missed it due to cloud cover and rain.

    I missed it due to sleeping. But good job Steve, right outside of phoenix there is some great star gazing opportunities. I plan on building a Dobsonian photo telescope one of these days and maybe I'll see you out there Mr. Machol
