Tonight’s deep partial lunar eclipse 96% coverage, and my first time ever shooting one of these. Clouds rolled in right as I got set up on the roof, and for a while it looked like the whole night was a bust. Then the Moon punched through right at the right moment, giving me just enough of a window to lock focus and get the shot. That bright sliver at the top is the small uneclipsed edge still catching direct sunlight the rest is sitting deep in Earth’s shadow, which is what gives it that copper-red glow. Grateful the sky cooperated even for a few minutes. Worth the wait.
