It was a bit chilly on our back deck at 2:30 in the morning of March 14, but I nevertheless set up my camera to capture the blood lunar eclipse.
This will be the only such event in 2025. Light cloud cover unfortunately drifted in, but here's the result. Not pin sharp but much more spectacular than what could be seen by the naked eye.
