Thanks, Click!That's a very nice picture. Well done, becceric.
The clouds never parted here, so I didn’t get any pictures. In January, 2019, I took some shots with my 100–400mm zoom at 400mm during the progress of the eclipse. But as it got toward totality, and the moon got very high in the sky, my tripod didn’t support the camera well enough to aim at the moon. (And yes, I had it fastened to the foot on the lens, not the camera. And since then I have got a better tripod head.) So I gave up and came inside. When I went out to see the red moon for myself, I decided to take a shot with my G7X II. Of course the moon was rather small, but the picture turned out surprisingly well. I had hoped last night that I would be able to take a picture at totality with 400mm, but the weather did not cooperate.

Nice to see the composite.
I was planning on a similar image, but my clumsiness reappeared and I accidentally changed focus. After refocusing and cranking the ISO, I refocused successfully, but haven’t taken the time to put things together.
I understand. There are many small things that crop up with night photography. Where I live, it’s usually clouds and my clumsiness.The clouds never parted here, so I didn’t get any pictures.

Stayed up most of the way through the totality, but the clouds here never cleared. Was planning to use the R3 with the RF 1.4x and EF 2xIII stacked behind the 600/4 II.The clouds never parted here, so I didn’t get any pictures.

I quite like the detail. The absolute full moon is very flat as there are no shadows.Very impressive. Thanks Alan.
