Details:
The great serendipity of the total lunar eclipse of January 31, 2018 being a perigee " Supermoon" , a Blue Moon second full Moon of the calendar month , and in the folk vernacular a Blood Moon. As seen from northwest Wyoming it was spectacular--- clear predawn sky after a snowstorm , and the Moon beginning to emerge from totality just above the landscape horizon , just before sunrise.
The most iconic geologic formation in the northern Big Horn Basin is Heart Mountain , a limestone massif with a very aesthetic profile. All of these characteristics came together for an excellent performance of cosmology , geology , and landscape artistry.
The landscape view was taken at 200mm focal length on a Nikon D5300 DSLR using ISO 800 at 1.0 sec @ f/8 , Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 zoom.
The detail view was on my other Nikon D5300 using ISO 1000 at 1/6th sec @ f/8 at a focal length of 600mm on a Sigma 150-500 APO zoom. A magical eclipse.
