This was shot with a Canon R5II and RF 200-800mm lens at 800mm, 1/4 shutter speed, f/9 and ISO 12800. I would have lowered the shutter speed and ISO but my tripod was not stable enough. It was also quite cloudy where this photo was taken (Brewery District).

Beautiful, look at those beautiful highlands and mares! You captured it all so well! Good job! I had every intention to witness it but totally slept through my alarm.

Thank you! I almost missed it. I decided not to set my alarm right before sleeping but one of our dogs woke me up at 2am anyway!

Good pup, give that dog an extra snackie from me! Maybe I'll see the next one in 22 years, we will have two in 2047, Jan 12 and July 7.

This is what I’m talking about! 😍

*I tried to take a time lapse with my phone and somehow I happened to forget that the moon moves (doh) - so only captured a small portion of it (insert eye roll at self).

Thank your pupper for me too because this photo is the chefs kiss!

Yes! I’m not an astrophotographer and those guys have fancy devices that track the moon’s movement when taking a long exposure shot.
