Totally awesome total lunar eclipse 2010

This is the best I could get sans tripod, sans telephoto zoom lens, of the total lunar eclipse on December 21st, 2010.

Canon 50D
85mm f/1.8
1/30sec at f/1.8 ISO 800, handheld

It was an awesome sight because you don't get to see the moon in hues other than bone-white, unless it's right above the horizon as a harvest moon, or however. I don't know what was more ominous, the shape of the moon being eaten away by the earth's shadow, slice by slice, or the dull wash of burnt-umber light that enveloped it. The copper disk contrasted with the black sky in a way I've never seen before. It looked like a penny on a black velvet blanket.

Not that I'm planning ahead or anything, but I'm looking forward, way forward, to the total SOLAR eclipse on August 21, 2017. It'll pass through the US from coast to coast (very rare path), passing through Wyoming in the afternoon. Length of total eclipse? 2 1/2 minutes. Let's just say it better not be overcast that day....
