This was taken April 4th, at 6:45am EDT with a Canon SX520 HS super zoom camera on a tripod, at a focal length of 1008mm. A couple of minutes later, the moon was down behind the trees, and couldn't get the eclipse as it progressed further. I did not notice any color in the moon, until I looked at it after snapping the shot. I have never seen a "blood moon" with the naked eye, so I don't know if the color is supposed to be there or not. Maybe I am becoming color blind in my old age. (Except when looking at pictures.) lol.

I suppose that is what I was seeing the other night heading to work. The moon was low in the sky, and red! I think this is a good representation of what it should look like.

The color is supposed to be there JimboB. You did a great job and so did your camera.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Congrats on capturing this beautiful eclipse of the moon, Jimbob. It was on my list of things to do on Saturday, but I became distracted and missed the event. Glad you were able to get it for me...so far away from Italy.

A good capture of the eclipsed blood moon, Jimbob. We had cloudy skies that night so I missed it entirely.
