Details:
I made it happen (with no sleep yet) to finalize today's lunar eclipse triplet, as the eclipse was truly beautiful over the CTIO Cerro Tololo observatory, Chile. Colors in the Earth's shadow were vivid, including the turquoise effect at the start and even end of the eclipse (where primarily the ozone layer causes a bluish tint, referring to Richard Keen's explanation from 2007). The effect was easily capturable on camera, but also nicely visible to binoculars. Used Canon R5, 1000mm telephoto lens, 1,4x teleconverter, Vixen GP-2 mount, 8s exposures.
