    Who saw the blood moon last night?

    Check out these pictures I took: (I did crop them)
    DSC_0032.JPG

    1 hour:
    blood moon.jpg
    Average settings used:

    Camera used: Nikon D3300
    Lens used: Just a 55-200mm Nikkor kit lens.
    Lens focal length: 200mm
    Mode used: Manual.
    Focus: Manual (Not easy, very dark subject. One eye needs to stay closed to make it adjust to the dark).
    Aperture: f/7.1
    Shutter: 5 seconds
    ISO: 400
    Whitebalance: Direct sunlight

    How to get a better picture than I did:
    Use a DSLR with a better lens. Some super-zoom point-and-shoot cameras may be sufficient if used in manual mode. A zoom multiplier will help a lot if you are using a DSLR.

    So I was out in 52F (11C) weather, on the driveway taking pictures for an hour. I notice the neighbors come out. They also took pictures, using a flash.....

    Did any of you get good pictures?

    A DSLR is best. A iphone cannot take pictures of this moon AT ALL... Other than a speck in the sky.

    Maybe a long-exposure picture.
    I used my telescope to look at the moon. I couldn't really see much of the moon because of a stupid lamppost right next to our driveway.
