anyone watching the lunar eclipse now?

just took a pretty cool picture after I finally found my tripod....im trying to upload but my camera still has 2800 pictures from Australia on it so its taking forever to load from the memory card....gonna go shower and ill be back in a bit.....such an awesome color!
 
ehh...what's the difference between 5hrs of sleep and 4hrs of sleep.....not much. So here are the pics.

2:15am (no tripod, had to use flash)

3:30am (found tripod, no flash)

I wish I had the right equipment to take this shot. It could have been an incredible picture but given what I had I think it came out alright.

I didn't take any pics, but it was excellent. Around 3, it was beautiful. It was a reddish orange or orangish red, whatever it was it was beautiful.
 
Jorge's last pic does a pretty good job of showing how it looked. It was so cool to see it change colors throughout the night.
 
Here's mine. On a tripod but something like 10 seconds of exposure so the bloody moon kept moving.

Thats great paco....but yeah, the shutter speed had to be so slow. I shot mine with about 6 seconds open. What lens did you use? that's great zoom.
 
It's cropped. I shot it with a 400mm -- well, a 70-200 w/2X TC to be exact. I should have wound up the ISO as high as it would go but I was pretty tired and not thinking as well as I should have been.

I was getting some great colors at 15 and 30 seconds but it was just a blurry oval at that point.
 
yeah same here.....there were probably some other setting I could have messed with but I was too cold and too tired...lol.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
