Froze my ass off last night trying to get a few shots of the blood moon. This is the best one I think I got from my 135mm. Took forever to expose this so that I would get color on the moon but also let enough light in to capture stars without blowing out the moon.

Thanks @zipper ! I was also trying to experiment with a long exposure star trail shot but the moon just looked like a bright orange light streak lol. Shooting astronomy is a pain in the ass as far as exposure goes lol. I wished I still had a long tele lens I sold off years ago but 135 L lens still hangs in there :)

That is a great photo. Moon photos are tough to get exposed well. We'll worth braving the cold last night to see.
