Very cool - do you have a camera mounted on a telescope?

Very cool indeed. Thanks so much for sharing. I've passed the pics on to a bunch of friends.

Fabulous, Sherry! Much nicer than what my camera would have captured. Thank you for sharing!

Hugs and butterflies,

Thank you! Love that red light at totality, very cool. (is it reflected earthlight?)

I read somewhere recently that the red light doesn't start out red, but looks red to us because we see it through the filter of our blue sky. Not sure what color + blue = red, though.

Excellent pix--thanks for sharing!

Partly, but mostly because the longer red wavelengths of sunlight pass through our atmosphere (and smoke/water vapor/pollution)around the edges of the Earth, and on to the moon during a lunar eclipse, while the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered throughout our atmosphere (essentially the same reason sunsets are reddish).

Just in case you might want to delete your photos, that signature doesn't really protect any copyright infringement issues especially on such a generic image.

The moon didn't look red here, it was a dull brown, thanks to all of our light pollution!!!

Yes, sometimes I mount it "piggyback" on top a scope, and other times (like this morning) I shoot directly thru the scope. It all depends on the application. Here is this morning's setup (it's my "portable rig'):
