For a $70 cam, without a tripod or an additional lens the pic turned out quite well :beer:

Totally missed it here this time - eclipse started before moonrise, but should have still been visible when the moon just came over the horizon. Weather wasn't all that good, too many clouds.

I've seen a nice one here a few years ago with the typical red coloration - luckily lunar eclipses are pretty common. If you ever get the chance to see a total solar eclipse, definitely go for that, its simply amazing.

Overall I would say those are pretty good for a $70 camera and no other equipment.

Astronomy was a hobby of mine ... most of my photos were taken from a Bausch & Lomb Pro 4000 (a 4 inch Schmidt telescope). My best pics of a lunar eclipse were taken in Colorado back in the ... mid '80s.

Your pics are GOOD given a camera and no scope.

Rain/clouds. Yea. I was in Berlin when Halleys Comet last passed through. I was all set up to photograph from the top of my apartment building. But... German weather, go figure. It was overcast the whole time.

When I was still in High School (mid 70s), my entire photojournalism class was set up to meet at the teachers house at 3-4 AM or so to photograph Comet Kohoutek. It didn't "show up"(?) (it's albedo suddenly and unexpectedly decreased, and we couldn't find it).

Speculation *AT THE TIME* was that maybe it exploded or broke up.

Federico, you seem to have much more contanimates in the air than I have here in Vienna :beer:

I think the problem of the photo taken by Arayan is not the pollution, is the noise produced when taking a photo in low light, also taken with a phone, even worse.
