My first try with the D7100 with the 70-300 on it. Shutter priority @1/500 sec , spot meter hand held at 300mm ISO i think was at 320

The weather and moon are beautiful that last few nights. Had to shoot the moon again.

One of the reasons was a friend of mine shot the moon tonight and posted on Facebook. Here are some of the comments that people posted. Read carefully.

The detail on this is superb. The 7100 in the right hands is amazing.

Got this this morning from spaceweather.com.

TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE: On Tuesday morning, April 15th, the full Moon will pass through the shadow of Earth, producing a colorful lunar eclipse. Although the mainstream media is calling this a "blood moon," the color is more likely to be bright orange. At the moment, Earth's stratosphere is not dusty enough produce a shadow with the deep red hues of blood. Whatever color it turns out to be, the eclipse will be visible from North and South America, Australia and New Zealand.

Unfortunately, it will be cloudy and possibly raining here in NC during the eclipse. I was getting excited too! Great pictures everyone!

Hazy and drab outside, so a lousy shot; no real moon color outside the norm

The best I could do given the cloudy night. It's my first time to try a moon shot with the D3200. Nailing the focus is tough with the small viewfinder; I had more bad shots than keepers.
