Live view was extremely noisy for me, but considering that I could barely make out the moon, it worked well enough for 5X, but no detail at 10X.
I had my tripod on a wooden deck with a 8 second shutter delay.
Even so. I think there was some vibration, the movement of the moon was much more significant.

It was harder than usual but not impossible just have to find a higher contrast area. I was do zooming in on the very bottom area where there was still a tiny crest of light. Hard but not impossible. I could also see the impact site which I was also using to focus maybe it was a bit brighter here in the UK

"Blood Moon"
EOS 1D X, EF 600mm f/4L IS II + EF 2x III Extender, 0.5 s, f/8, ISO 6400
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.
His turned out much nicer, but he used the same exposure that I did, (1600/1s/5.6 vs. 6400/0.5s/8) and I am just North of Boston, so it was probably the atmospheric conditions where you were.

Same here - set the center point on high accuracy, switched to mf after focusing, but rechecked every now and then and always got confirmation.

My attempt attached. I got lazy, and just used Canon gear, not my astro gear which would have required a lot more setup than I can be bothered with at that time of night!
7D2, Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 EX OS HSM + Sigma 1.4x teleconverter for 420mm f/4, 1s, ISO800. Static mount. Image cropped. Processed only in DxO 10.
With hindsight I could have tried turning up the ISO some more. I had left it on 800 from earlier shots where I was trying to keep the dynamic range of a partially eclipsed moon.
Got more shots I haven't played with yet for some stacking potential. This pic was quickly processed at the time so I had something to stick on social media before bed time

Well, we were plagued by overcast here in the Sierra Nevada mountains. When a hole opened up, this is all there was left.
