Super Blue Blood Red Moon
Super, because the moon is so close to the earth
Blue, because it's the second full moon in the month of January
Blood Red, because of the effect as it passes through the earth's shadow

I'd show you the full eclipse, but there's nothing to see ...
Full Eclipse ... get it?
Unfortunately, telephoto opens the lens to too much light and the red doesn't show.
Just take my word for it, the red glow was real!
Faint, but real.

On a totally unrelated note, Mr. Hillside and I are taking a big step today.
Hoping to have big news for you soon.
What time were you up taking these pictures?! At our house, I could see the full moon a little after 4, and the next time I woke up it was 5:45 and the eclipse was happening. I caught the faint reddish glow, too. No photos though - I was just peeking through the blinds before I went back to bed!
ReplyDeleteHope everything works out the way you want it to with this new phase - hope it is on a "hill"!
ReplyDeleteVery cool!! We were told not to even bother in our area because there was going to be nothing to see. :o((
ReplyDeleteSo cool you got to see it! We had dense clouds here, nothing visible. Best wishes on your big step!
