Lunar Eclipse!

Okay I am kind of giving up. It is 3:00am already and gotta work tomorrow:(

My last settings were f/8 1" and ISO 400 and still wasn't giving me sharp images. Perhaps my 85mm lens is not up to this job and I didn't have enough heat in my body to stay up any longer to experiment different settings:)

I am cold and sleepy...
 
I shot this with a 300mm zoom on f11 ISO 200 for 2"

This was my first attempt at moon photography lol and frick its hard to get a crisp focus. Anyhoo it is minus 25 and I might try again on the crescent but this is a heavy crop shot with my 18 - 105mm kit.

Here's a quick and dirty crop & contrast adjustment done in iPhoto. Tomorrow I'll do some proper processing in Lightroom but I just wanted to share this before I went to bed. It was pretty difficult focusing on the moon, that's for sure, but I'm pretty happy. I even got a couple of stars in the shot too.

2.5", f/8, ISO 200, 200mm

135mm after a crop, not bad for 135mm

Thought I'd miss the show since it's been raining/cloudy all day. We had some clouds around 10pm and it started clearing up as the night progressed. Here's two about 30 minutes apart.
