Full eclipse (40x zoom)
Unfortunately, I didn't get any zoom photos of the full eclipse that were in focus. It seems that the moon was moving too fast for my "star trails" camera mode, but I couldn't find a better one. This seems to be the best photo that I took of the moon during total eclipse. It was taken at 0014, US/Eastern, about 1 minute after the maximum eclipse.
Nice pics. I was messing around with my 320 mm lens on a tripod with a six second exposure at the totality. I haven’t transfer them to my computer yet but I’m hoping I got something good.

Thanks! I was happy with my earlier photos, but disappointed that I couldn't find the correct mode during the total eclipse... Mine's a beginner camera and I don't have a whole lot of manual control over shutter speed and ISO. I would have tried more settings/modes if it hadn't been 16 degrees (F) with a -2 wind chill out there!
Once you transfer your photos, you might want to post one or two of them into a comment on this thread: SteemStarGazing thread: Upvotes for your photos of the January 20-21 lunar eclipse. My son and I set up that account, and we thought it would be cool to build a collection of Steem eclipse photos all in one place.
