As promised, here is a photo taken mid-eclipse, or about 3:15 AM eastern standard time (USA). The moon had a very nice, orange-red glow.
Another photo taken about 25 minutes later, as the Moon approached the edge of Earth’s shadow.
2010 Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse
You were lucky, we had a cloud bank along the horizon for the full duration, I only got the top edge missing. Well Done.
Thanks Ron..it was crystal clear and cold..felt so good to be up and out at 3 AM to observe the night sky again..it has been years! Sorry you were clouded out!
We had too much cloud! Well done!
Wow, amazing, wish i’d have gone out with my camera, it was cloudy 😦
Impressive! I like the way that there are even stars in the photo. We had total cloud cover, thus impossible to even sneak a peak… this is in a part of the country that hardly ever has a cloud in the sky. Thanks for getting out there and sharing the photos so quickly.
Thanks everyone. Normally the east coast is clouded out for these types of events, so having clear skies throughout was a pleasant surprise.
Beautiful pictures! Well done 🙂
Great Pics,
It was well worth braving the -10 celcius to see it !
Thanks for the picture, I was not able to view it from South Asia.
I wasn’t as well from Europe.
I was up at 2:30am for this. Were you? 🙂

wow! Beautiful! It’s been raining here in So Cal non stop for days. No moon for us!
Beautiful Pictures! Great clarity.
Amazing!
WOWW !!
Wallpaper Perfect ??!!
Amazing… thanks for sharing… here also cloudy… very sad…
This eclipse is particular.
Wahnsinn. Ein tolles Foto.
Awesome! I went to look at it at midnight PST…full sky of nothing but clouds! Sigh…
Красиво! 😉
Thanks for posting these pictures! Living in a city means I couldn’t find an unobstructed view without any light pollution. Did the moon completely disappear or was there a halo?
Thanks for the photos.
Thanks for sharing these..Beautiful!!
😀 Great photos. It was my first time to see the Lunar Eclipse!
We stayed up to watch it lastnight and it was great!! Thanks for posting these pics.

The moon was amazing last night.
Great pics.Thanks for sharing . Looking forward for some great work in future,
I got a couple of okay shots considering I didn’t have a good optical lens to work with. They are no where near as crisp as yours are. Awesome job.

Wonderful photos. I was hoping to see it myself… but cold and cloud cover dashed the plan. Must have been something to witness.
Wow beautiful…..how did you get such great shots? You must of have a huge telephoto lens. I didn’t get to see it because of clouds…..but your pictures probably would be better because I don’t think I would see all that detail just looking up in the sky.

Hey..I shot these photos with my Canon Xti through a Canon 100-400mm lens, tripod mount, and cable release.
I’m so sad I wasn’t able to see this. It was too cloudy in my part of the country to see anything last night! Thanks for the photos.

Nicely done! I took a few of the phases, too. It was awesome to watch.
Awesome photos! thanks for capturing it for those who didn’t get to see it because of snow…
Nice shots. I got a few glimpses of the eclipse last night through dense cloud cover.
Ahhhh, thank you for the bliss. It was a cloudy sky in my neck of the woods so what I got to see was ‘through the veil’ so to speak. I knew it was happening though because the clouds went from bright to black. Not the same as your bright orange orb, but pretty darn cool nonetheless to know what was going on behind the curtain.
I saw it in the morning (Sweden)
wonderfull!!!
Lovely, impressive photos..didn’t stay up to watch, believe it was cloudy anyway! Thanks for sharing your adventure! Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!

Fabulous photos. I’m most certainly glad I got myself up to view this. Well worth the experience.
I couldn’t stay up long enough to see the eclipse (I passed out around 11pm), so thank you very much for the photos!
Awesome Pics!! 😀 I watched till 3:15 the beginning of the orange-red glow, I tried to take pics, but I couldnt.. thanks again!
Great pics! It was beautiful here in New Mexico too. I was able to get video footage of it and some pictures too. Such an amazing experience! Just think of how many millions of people were watching the same thing. A moment of unity 🙂
Thank you for sharing the great photos! It was cloudy all night, and I was unable to catch a glimpse.
Oh wow! So much better than my pics! Yours are what I wanted mine to be! I had very clear visibility (on the East Coast in New Jersey, near NYC) but it was quite windy.
May I ask what kind of camera you used?

Hi Julee..I use a Canon Rebel Xsi and love it. Thanks for the kind comments!
Wow..thanks everyone for the great comments. It was an incredible night for moon watching and photography.
thanks for the photos: In California has been raining almost continously for the last four days.
Happy Christmas,
G.
Thanks for snapping the pics. We had clouds and missed it all.
Wow, what a beautiful picture!!! What kind of camera are you using? Fortunately for me over in Washington state, it was pretty cloudy so I really only got to see the second half… all of 10 minutes or so 🙂
Nice pics! I tried to get some but they didn’t turn out around 3. But, I was able to get some around midnight lol that’s about it
I really wish I got to see it! I stayed up last night just so I could…but it was cloudy where I was. Glad I got to see some pictures! thanks for posting 😀
Thanks for the beautiful photos. We were shivering in the wind and the camera only shows an orange blob. The stars were so bright next to this orange moon, I was glad I had stepped outside to see. Thanks again for beautiful photos of this extraordinary event.
Thanks for posting these amazing photos so virtually everyone could share the event.
It’s awesome!! I’d love to see that but unfortunately it wasn’t visible where I live. Only during the moonset but there wasn’t so much to see at the point..
Thankfully I saw the lunar eclipse in 2008 (I think) so I had my share I guess!
Thanks for the pictures by the way. They are great!!!
Such a wonderful picture!! I saw it in the morning in Norway and got som picture from my compact camera. Love your picture 🙂
Merry Christmas!
Got a footage of the eclipse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYdsFbvjaTA
Enjoy!

Too bad, I couldn’t see it from where I am.
Nice picks! Merry Christmas!
It was too windy outside, there was no way I was going to go out there!
well done, super shots
Wow!! Awesome photos Greg. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful shot!
Really great photos Greg! Down here in Australia we missed nearly all of the eclipse so it is a real treat to see such clear images. Of course down under it is the Summer Solstice for the full moon- just as unusual.
Beautiful photos! I did see it live and my husband took a few pictures, but our camera isn’t nearly as good as yours. 🙂
I stepped outside last night to celebrate the start of the winter solstice and watch the lunar eclipse — I ran inside after I had a sasquatch sitting.
Blessings,
Ava

Congrats on being Freshly Pressed.
So well shot! Congrats on being featured and I’m glad to see you back posting.
Thanks Ellen…I never expected the level of interest..I knew I had some pretty good shots, but the response has been pretty incredible.
I stood in my boyfriend’s driveway for about an hour with my head craned back, watching the sky and the moon. It was gorgeous and cold and awe inspiring, and this morning my back was *MESSED UP*. One day I’ll get the kinks out of my back; one day. In the meantime, it was glorious.
Wow…this is lovely..wish i had seen it…when is the next eclipse?
very cool. i tried staying up but it was super late where i live. thank goodness for pictures. looks amazing.

well done dede.
Excellent work…. this eclipse was not visible in India. Thanks for sharing with us.
Looks like you had a really clear sky. I got my telescope and camera mount out but it was so hazy you couldn’t even see the stars here. I got fairly decent shots considering, but I’m jealous of yours. Just as it reached totality here it clouded over. But I got it on “film”.
here are mine:

Great pic. It was an amazing experience to be honest. Attempted to take pictures myself but without the right camera it turned out blotchy and small. Glad you posted on this.
These are the best pictures I have seen. Most other shots have always included other ground level objects. Your shots create the feeling that there’s nothing else but the moon and the stars. Nicely done and thank you for sharing.

Oh, so I did see it correctly, then, as an orange-red ball in the sky. Your camera took some wonderful shots.
Hey look at the latest one.
December 21 2010 Solstice Full moon Total Lunar Eclipse Syncronicity
Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing…
Thank you for sharing these great images. Like so many others it was completely clouded over all night where I was at, and I missed the chance of seeing it in person. At least this way I get to see some nice pictures.
Stunning images. Thank you so much for posting them. I am glad you had such perfect sky to work with.
Hi,
Great photos! Could you tell me what equipment you used be get such a great shot of the eclipse? Thanks! 🙂
Thank you for staying up late and taking better pictures than I ever could have from our apartment balcony in Brooklyn.
Thanks for posting the pictures! We had so many clouds that it was hard to see anything but orange clouds. 🙂
We were outside, but it just wasn’t as nice as seeing the eclipse.
Thanks for showing them!
Gutted, I didn’t realise until after that this was happening!
well if i knew this was going on i would have been outside in the freezing snow to watch it all. It’s pretty actually.(Its kinda embarrasing to say when your a guy.) lol 🙂
Great photo! Good job.
Great photos! We also got to enjoy the eclipse.
Thanks for posting these amazing photos so virtually everyone could share the event.
Beautiful pictures. I watched about 3/4 of it with binoculars, it was amazing. I also stayed up the night before the eclipse by mistake and was sorely disappointed (and tired the next day). 🙂
Nice! I’m from SE Asia and I still saw the moon glowing orange around dusk. At first I almost thought it was the sun setting until I realized it was in the opposite direction!
I was watching it from my window it gave a little extra when there was snow everywhere
wow those are amazing! Unfortunately I was in LA. All I’ve seen the past week is rain.water.rain.water. never ending.
Amazing shows by mother earth should really be scheduled around non-storm days.
These are excellent. I missed the eclipse (based in the UK, but I think people saw it there).
Too much cloud. Nothing to see 😦
But nice pictures!
All i can say is amazing. Unfortunately we’re not be able to witness that in our country. So good to know that i can be able to see an actual picture of it.
A friend told me about the eclipe the day after it happened but I did notice the full moon that night and it was a Monumental site to behold… Loved the images you captured! Many Thanks…
Fantastic! Wish I could have seen it!
Spent the day meditating, searching for answers, and reinforcing inner self to whatever challenges there will be along the way to truth and selflessness.
I got up super early to watch it! It was pretty neat to see. Made me wish I had a telescope though! hahahaha
Wow, truly beautiful. Does your camera have a face detect for the Man in the Moon? Kudos on FP!

Awesome pictures! It looks the eye of a Terminator!
gorgeous.
Beautiful! Too bad I was not able to catch this.
Not shots. Clouded over in my area 😦
Meant “nice”. 😛
Having been “into” astronomy as far back as I can remember of my five decades on Earth, the Moon is still as mysterious and enchanting as ever. Especially during a total eclipse, which I think is a harbenger of mystical changes to come.
I also played in a band called The Total Eclipse…they are still playing to the moon.

Wow!That was beautiful!Nice photo 🙂
waooooo wonderful photos……like this
Thanks a million from someone in Asia that sadly missed out an an event of a lifetime 😦
Fantastic photos!
I would have loved to of gotten some shot of the moon but it was overcast and freezing. that pink moon shot is great
I could never get pictures like that – either I would forget about it, or not even know about it.
nice! congrats on FP! 😉

Ialways love this kind of shot!!
You are SO lucky to have been able to seen and capture this eclipse! I documented it until about 1/2 of the moon was dark, but then a heavy cloud cast blocked the view of the moon completely! )=
wow!!!!!!!amazing…………………………..
You are lucky to see this..
I see allow half of the Lunar eclipse
Too sad. I missed the chance to see this.
Great pics. Some experts said we would have a really good view of the eclipse in Chile but it was cloudy 😦
Wow, both of these shots are outstanding! I’m in awe!
