Sorry I won't be able to photograph the super moon. I'll be in my basement, hiding under a mattress.

There's even a 6 paragraph section on "How to shoot the eclipse with a smart phone". So Steve, just hold your smart phone up a little higher and it's done. That is Steve under the mattress, isn't it?

We got lucky. Partly cloudy but some very good views.

I happened to wake up at 4 am so I though I'd get up and have a look. Got a decent shot out of it. Caught me by surprise at how dark it actually was and I should have had my tripod out - but I'd wake the whole house up so I went for towel on a table in the garden.

We went from ISO 200 - 1/200th at f14 earlier in the evening:

To ISO 800 - 1/2 second at f6.3:

Very nice, under the circumstances ::CLAP: . We had gone out when it was just beginning, then when we went out again over an hour later I was surprised by how dark it was outside. At first I thought that the clouds had it socked in, but then I also saw how amazingly dark the surface was. The color was amazing.

Well the moon is certainly eclipsed..... :(

In the UK we are well used to not seeing meteor showers and the like due to cloud cover. So much so that The Register (uk tech new site) proposed a fictional book "The Bumper Book of Astronomical Flops - Heavenly wonders obscured by driving rain. A sumptuously-hardbound coffee table book of 230 full-colour plates celebrating the very best of skygazing disappointments."

Awesome shot Chris! What lens? I didn't even bother to try since my longest lens is 135mm. Cloudy here too. I didn't see the moon, but I did spot 2 little fairies.
