This is not an easy image to capture since there is such a huge change in brightness between the sunlit, penumbral and umbral regions of the Moon's disk.

Excellentprobably the best set of lunar eclipse shots I've ever seen.

Re: [meteorite-list] eclipse photos
Thanks for the compliments Rob and Grahm. It was a good challenge and a lot of fun. I shot continuously (every 20 seconds) from midnight till 6 am. The tricky part was adjusting the exposure time every 15-30 minutes to keep up with the eclipse. Observing during that hour or so of totallity was surreal. Looking forward to 2014.
