I heard you had to use special filters for these eclipses, or else you might go blind. Scary stuff, I think I'll use a welding glass in front of my telephoto

This is a lunar eclipse, no danger at all.

I'll actually be photographing it with no filters myself, through 1000mm @ f/4

Well, ain't we lucky?
On the other hand, I'd die to see this from the moon...
Cheers

I'm just hoping I don't get clouded out again, like I have been for the previous 2 total lunar eclipses.
This will be my first total lunar on DSLR too

The real beauty of this eclipse is that it is at a respectable time.

My fun attempts from my workdesk:

Really hard to get it without too much grain when it is so dark without movement. A choice of blurred detail or noisy detail.
