Details:
September's total lunar eclipse was already deep within the Earth's orange-ish shadow before rising above the mountains, when viewed from the west side of Glacier National Park.
In this interval image, I photographed the moon every four minutes after it rose above the Garden Wall. The moon moved out of Earth's shadow while clipping Mount Oberlin, then returned to a fully sunlit moon shining above Clements Mountain. In the bottom left, you can see horizontal headlights (white) and tail lights (red) of cars driving along the Going-to-the-Sun Road. Also in the foreground, orange cottonwood leaves were lit by a passing car in the valley floor about one-quarter mile away from my camera location. Stretchy moons in the upper right corner were distorted by the wide angle lens.
Nikon D750, 18mm lens set @ f5.6. At ISO 800, 5 different exposures recorded for each moon, with the closest exposure selected to show moon's progression. All of this was plopped down on two longer exposures made just before moonrise to show the stars and cars.
