The lunar eclipse was an unusual event and we had the perfect conditions for viewing and taking pictures with clear skies and it happened at a reasonable hour. This shot is a practice shot that I took the night before. The next three shots were taken during the night of the eclipse. The first shot was taken at 8:49, the second shot at 9:22, and the third shot at 10:09. This shot is a combination of the first and last shot and combined in Photoshop.
