Thank you Cathy.
As a general rule, when photogrpahing something in the night sky, ensure your shutter speed is faster than 600/(focal length). Compare this with the 1/(focal length) rule to avoid camera shake handheld. I guess you could say that 600/(focal length) avoid 'planet shake'. Shutter speeds slower than this will result in blurring of the subject (moon in this case) due to the Earth's rotation.
For example, in my case I was using roughly a 600mm equivalent focal length, hence my maximum shutter speed was 1 second (600/600 = 1). To obtain this shutter speed while the moon was in eclipse, I had to open the lens up to f/5.6 using ISO 400. Hope that's a help. Good luck when you revisit the blood moon photographing in 2011 ;P

Thanks Diego :) It was looking like the night may have been clouded over, but the clouds cleared right on cue :)

Superb series! How on earth did you do this? Sorry about the pun. I tried many photographs on the night of the blood moon but none of them look like these. The moon would not stand still long enough to get a sharp image. Any hints? CC
