Summary:
Now
we know what it took to end the Curse of the Bambino: a lunar eclipse.
The Boston Red Sox won the World Series on Wednesday night, Oct.
27, 2004, when the Moon glided through Earth's shadow and turned
a vivid shade of red.

Trying to capture
the sequence w/ a rising eclipsed full moon was a bit of a challange
as our eclipse here began with a bright cloudy sky. Each image
would recieve additional light washing out moon detail, so a
hybrid film/digital image was composited to make this image.

The eclipse began
just after moonrise over Seattle. I positioned myself to
capture this 'Double Eclipse' - initial Earth shadow and
Columbia Tower high rise eclipsing the moon.

The sky was crystal
clear during the lunar eclipse and I was able to observe
the entire eclipse. I took pictures of the moon at ten minute
intervals and combined them to a single frame. The background
picture was taken before the eclipse began with the moon
lighting the scenery.

I went to Kas, a
small Mediterranean town about 190 km southwest of Antalya,
Turkey, where I observed the eclipse from the very point that
I had observed the lunar eclipse of 9th November last year.
#1: A few minutes after the
end of totality, the Moon was about to set behind Toros (Taurus)
Mountains. 06:53 GMT+3 #2:
I used a 17 mm f/2.8 fisheye lens for this 90-second exposure
showing the Moon in the western sky. The tube of my telescope
can also be seen at the bottom, as I piggybacked the camera
on it.

The Lunar Eclipse
locally was mostly blocked out by cloud cover. There were
few, brief opportunities to view the eclipse.

I was taking images every five minutes in order to make my animation. On most of my frames I have bird crossings, but this is the largest and most clear. Orion ST80 + ATIK 2HS camera + Meade Lunar Filter + Mogg Focal Reducer.
