Lunar Eclipse Viewing From Goleta Front Porch

Merlie and I were fortunate to get a clear view of the total lunar eclipse Thursday night right from our front porch in Goleta. Clear skies between storms.

Here are three views. The first was at 10:22PM. The second was at 10:40PM. And the third was during totality at 11:47PM. I set the camera to its lowest ISO to bring out maximum detail and color saturation. A tripod was essential for the photo during totality as the blood moon emits rather dim light. It is also necessary to use a timer for the shutter release to avoid vibration.

And here are all three side by side.
