Lunar Eclipse Progression

[kiwiapple]

I was as shocked as anyone that we had clear skies for last night's eclipse, since I cannot remember the last time we had a clear night since around November. But clear it was, and I had a great view of the eclipse from my front porch. I managed to see it from when the Earth's shadow first started to eat away at the Moon, and stayed awake until the shadow completely consumed the Moon. Here's a little composite of the various stages of eclipsification, shot with a Canon R5Mk2 and 100-500mm RF lens.

A masterpiece eclipsification! Excellent detail even in shadow.

Very nice - we had an excellent view of clouds in my area but I figured there was a good possibility someone else somewhere else would get some good shots to make up for that

Awesome work James! I really like what you got here.

I was able to capture it in Joshua Tree, I need to post some images later.
