Here's some of the pictures of the moon I snapped during the eclipse - I didn't have a lot of time to set up my telescope because my viewing opportunity was framed by thunderstorms, so this is what I got. The first three are unedited, just what I got as the eclipse went along. The third shows the eclipse at its peak, taken right around 10:44. All other photos I've edited in Lightroom for clarity - some taken through a monocular lens, some through my telescope. The first of the edits is of a photo that ended up really grainy so rather than trying to fix it I leaned into the grain and made it part of the photo to make it look like an old timey newspaper print. The others I just played around with until I got to a point where I liked them. The blur in the third from the bottom is because my lens got wet because it was again between two thunderstorms but I still like the picture.
