[Rockhounds] OT: Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight

[The Hammer]

Trying to learn how to handle my camera better.  I seem rather limited when it comes to skill of getting a good lunar shot.  I also lack skill at close up mineral pics. Still trying

I've 
started 
taking 
some 
pictures 
through 
a 
small 
scope. 
In 
fact, 
I 
need 
to 
run 
out 
and 
take 
another 
shot.
