Yet more very interesting and excellent shots. I just heard on local radio that it has been 30yrs since a blood moon was visible from my area, I hope I didn't pass up the opportunity to see one for another 30yrs, if I had realised the timings my customers may have got a very tired person turn up!
Cheers, Graham.

Nice. Your exposure was a lot different than mine, I had to use 2 sec at ISO 6400. I think we had some high clouds moving in, but I could not see any in the photo. Not many stars were showing, and the moon was dimmer than expected.
Of course, we were much earlier here(7:47 PM), so it had just managed to get reasonably dark.

"Blood Moon"
tomscott said:How were you focusing?
What I did was basically frame the shot in the centre but to the left so when I got the tripod sorted etc I would wait for the moon to move into the centre of the frame. I set the focus at infinity to set my framing, then use live view to make fine adjustments at 10x view with the image stabilisation on to steady the viewfinder, then turned it off 10 second shutter release to ensure the camera was still then it took the shot.

Next opportunity to get the two phenomena's together will be 2033 so another 18 years.
