@LilyoftheValley We were in the middle of a game I was coaching and I told all of the kids to take a look at it as it rose about the tree line. My friend tried to take a photo but it wasn’t very impressive so he took one with me in the foreground to give it “perspective”, but it still looked like a pinkish dot beside my head 😁
@Ghostinthemachine I'm sure the kids were in awe never having seen a red moon until then.
😊 That's the problem with phones when taking a distant object with a normal shot and worse when magnifying it, looks blurry unless you have a potent camera on your phone 🤷♀
@moonlightlullabyThanks, but I wish it were a picture I took but it isn't, I got it online because when I made the post, by then the blood moon was still about to happen. I did finally take a picture of it, but my phone's camera didn't do it any justice. Maybe next time I can have a better camera to take better pictures😊
@samueltyler2 No that's not necessary just wondering what you used..
From 1982 to 2003
Most of my lunar shots were done using Ectacrome 200 using a Celestron C8 at primary focus T-adapted to a Olympus Om1 slr body all on slides later digitized..
From 2003 to present i use all my Canon D series from 10D to 80D Still using my Celestron C8 and C5 cassegrain scopes
You can see my collection of telescopes on my page....
@samueltyler2 the C8 is a 2000mm fl at f/10 the C5 1250mm at f/10 the older orange tube Celestrons were all made in the USA built rugged my first C8 i purchased in 1977 and still has excellent optics...
