Blood Red Moon !!

[astroNikon]

Michigan right now is eclipsed by full cloud cover and snow.
But that does not deter the few, that have the "right" equipment for these situations.

I am one of the lucky ones that own a Nikon d600. Few know, that ONLY this model has a cloud penetrating photo feature.
I used this feature to take a few photos of a Blood Red Moon eclipse.
Enjoy !!



and with a longer exposure

well that makes even less sense. if you already have a photo of it, and it lights up real cool and everything. why you keep talking about taking another one?
