TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
The eclipse will happen on the night of the year’s first of three straight full supermoons, meaning the moon will be nearly at its closest to Earth for this January, as the eclipse takes place.
Many are calling it a Blood Moon eclipse. Why? We’re not entirely sure, but you can read more about Blood Moons here.
Now here’s a single, sad last thing. This will be the last total lunar eclipse to grace Earth’s sky until May 26, 2021.

I don’t care what you call it, shooting the moon is something to experience. The weather can be challenging and then there is always gear performance. Camera batteries do not like the cold; when they get old, they only go down hill faster. I can relate.
It was -7 to -11. I switched out batteries once. Covering the camera with a blanket helped tremendously. A bonfire would have been wonderful.
I am pretty happy with the time, effort and results. It was worth enduring the bitter cold.
