Here are my (totally amateur) pictures of tonightβs total lunar eclipse*.
I used my Canon EOD 7D Mk II digital camera and EF-S 18-135mm lens with image stabilizer.
I just cropped the full size of the pictures from 5472Γ3648 pixels down to 2000Γ1500 pixels but otherwise the photos are as recorded by the camera.
*A total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth and moon align in space with Earth in the middle, leading it to cast a shadow on the moon. During that time, the moon appears to turn a reddish hue, which is why the event is sometimes referred to as a βblood moon.β β nbcnews.com
