The Blood Moon, November 7, 2022

My first attempt at photographing a lunar eclipse.
Meade (Telestar) 4.5" Newtonian Reflector
25mm Eyepiece
Samsung Galxy S22+ (Pro Mode)
Celestron NexYZ Universal Smartphone Adapter
Voice Activated Shutter Release
ISO, Exposure Length... all over the map, it's my first try.

This is when it started to get exciting! 

Unfortunately, I did not record times, but the entire eclipse took four hours.

I had little confidence that these images were going to be any good since I was using my cell phone attached to the Newt with an adapter.

Using manual controls I couldn't take video with any measure of success, so I packed it up early, I didn't stay for the full eclipse, so I missed the Shazam! moment. Alas, this is the last frame I captured.
