Total Lunar Eclipse September 27, 2015 The partly cloudy forecast and webcam images didn't look all that promising in the Eastern Sierra yesterday afternoon, so I ditched my plans to pursue one of several compositions that I had worked out, and I stayed home to see if the moon would make any appearance at all.  Here's the story and some of my results from the event: http://activesole.blogspot.com/2015/09/total-lunar-eclipse-september-27-2015.html #lunareclipse   #bloodmoon   #september  #2015 #astronomy   #astrophotography   #nightphotography

Blood moon and Uranus Last Wednesday, October 8, 2014.  Here's one of my old blog posts describing shooting the August 28, 2007 lunar eclipse:  Lessons Learned: Photographing the Lunar Eclipse http://activesole.blogspot.com/2007/08/lessons-learned-photographing-lunar.html Blog:  http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/ #lunareclipse   #bloodmoon   #astrophotography   #astronomy

Supermoon Rise Over Mono Lake The night of the lunar eclipse last week started with the moon rise just before sunset.  I caught the moon rising at Mono Lake.   There may be only one day a month when you can capture a moon rise at sunset like this as I describe in this old blog post from 2006: How To Plan for Great Full Moon Rise and Set Shots! http://activesole.blogspot.com/2006/11/plan-ahead-for-great-full-moon-rise-and.html I talk in the blog post about having a calendar in "your cell phone or PDA"... does anyone remember the old Palm Treo 650?  That's what I had before the original Droid! #lunareclipse   #bloodmoon   #astrophotography   #supermoon
