Lunar Eclipse 20140415 - Sometimes Called "Blood Moon"


Lunar Eclipse 20140415 image was taken at approximately 02:01 AM on April 15 from my backyard.  The cameras was a Canon T3i using a Canon 55-250mm f8 zoom lenses set to 250mm focal length.  The image is a single shot.  The camera was mounted on a camera tripod which lacks a lot to be desired in stability.  The two stars shown faintly in the image are: Spica, the star to the lower right of the Moon and Virgo 76 the faint star to the upper left.  Click on the image to see a larger view.
