Despite all the excitement about the longest lunar eclipse, it was coupled with a very cold night, so I ended up deciding not to photograph it. However, a middle-of-the-night wakeup, quick look out the window where the eclipse was still happening, grabbing the convenient camera sitting on my desk, and a handheld shot out the window gave me this document shot of the event. Cropped to extreme, noise-reduction almost impossible, but there it is!
Great shot. I wasn't planing on getting up either, but just happened to wake up about 5 and saw it outside my window, so had to get up for a couple of shots.
I should have spent the night and tried at least! So stupid of me to give up so quickly. I'm glad you got a shot of it, and that the lunar eclipse DID show its face in Chicago. I won't give up the next time --
