27, 2004, when the Moon glided through Earth's shadow and turned
a vivid shade of red. [full

Totality above LA
Harbor. We were fortunate to see the moon after a day of
heavy rains, even if clouds did obscure the last half of
totality.

My first chance
at photographing a total lunar eclipse was almost ruined
by thick cirrus clouds that rolled in during most of totality.
However, I was able to get this sequence of shots after
the clouds cleared. Images were then composited with Photoshop.

Coolpix 995, f5.6, 1/500 to 1/15 exposures.

Individual images
were taken with an Olympus
D450Z digital camera, afocal to a short tube refractor
with a 13.8mm eyepiece. The refractor was mounted on top
of a Meade
LX90 in equatorial mode. An excellent night in New York
for the eclipse.
