Moon Be Gone

If you missed the eclipse of the moon last night, it was quite a sight. These two pictures were only taken about a minute apart. The first picture is closer to what was actually viewable to the naked eye. The second picture is with a wider aperture.
f8.0 @ 1/4 sec ISO 400
f3.5 @ 1/4 sec ISO 400
They were taken at 10:05 PM, on a tripod using full zoom, and with the self-timer to eliminate any shake. Also had to turn off the image stabilization of the camera.
BTW it was 12 degrees out w/o figuring in windchill.

Great pics, Keith!

[...] optical zoom, equivalent to a 432mm telephoto on a 35mm camera. Biggest lens I have right now. The previous shots of the lunar eclipse were taken with this camera. Still getting used to the new features, and [...]
Thanks everyone.
It just got to cold to stay through the whole thing. It was a spur of the moment thing. Grabbed my tripod and headed outside. Set it up and turned off our outside lights. I’m just glad it was cloud free.
