Total Eclipse of the Moon

I guess yesterday’s slightly doctored image was just a warmup act for this slightly doctored image. My wife woke me up at 4:15 am because she could not sleep and was trying to take a photo of the lunar eclipse, also known as the Blood Moon, with her iPhone through the window blinders. I volunteered to go outside with the Sony and a 55-210mm lens, but quickly realized I needed a tripod. I also shot it with the Canon and the 70-200mm lens, but I’m not sure I got good focus. Haven’t reviewed those images yet. The red color came out better on the Canon, here I had to up the drama a little in Lightroom to make sure the photo matches what I saw - or hoped to see.
