Moon shots

Did y'all see the lunar eclipse Sunday night?  We sat outside in the below freezing cold and watched as the moon turned red.  And as soon as the moon was completely eclipsed, we came inside and went to bed.  I always try to take pictures of the moon and I am never satisfied with the outcome.  Maybe I should actually read about moon and night photography from someone that knows what they are doing..  LOL

Here is my one picture and it's not all that good... before the moon turned red.

and this one from my phone showing some red. I think the moon was about 3/4 covered then.

 Oh well..  Do y'all try to stretch yourself with photography skills?  My focus has been on flowers and dogs but I am sorta determined to learn how to shoot the moon.  without having to buy another lens.

Here are some good photographs to brighten your day..
