May I present my first images here.
I'm hoping to head to eastern Oregon, likely Smith Rock State Park, to shoot the super moon and eclipse.
These images are easily my sharpest moon shots, thanks to my new to me Canon 500 f/4 II and the best Canon yet, the R5. These are cropped and also with a 1.4x Extender attached. April 21 and 22.....

There are three things that
Would make that much more interesting - ISO, Speed, & Aperture

Lovely Luna.
Unfortunately, here on the East Coast we won't get to see this super moon and eclipse in all its beauty. I'm looking forward to the great images you're going to post here for us to see.

Undecided as to whether I'll make the trip. Even east of the Cascades, the weather forecast is not good...... It's ~350 miles to get there, soooo...
I was skunked a couple years ago for what I think was the last full lunar eclipse out this way. I got some great moonrise images over Lake Washington, with downtown Bellevue, but went to bed as the ubiquitous PNW clouds rolled in. A few intrepid folks lucked out and caught it through some sucker holes...timing was a bit tough, at around 2-3 am, iirc.
I'll dig through the archives, as I've caught two other lunar events....

Found one, from the 9/27/15 lunar eclipse. Shot from Magnolia. This is a composite. Moon shot at 400mm, ISO 1000 2.5 sec f/4.6 Canon 5D III, 70-200 f/2.8 L II and a 2x Extender III. The scene is at 290mm.
2nd shot is with the 70-200 alone and at 130mm, 1/2 sec ISO 500, f/5

The evening prior, a single image. Same camera, Canon 500 f/4.5L 1/6 sec Iso 500 f/5.6
And, Tahoma, bathed in sunset warmth! 500mm again

Thanks. . Just did a re-edit of my latest from 1/20/2019 and got better results.

I stayed in town, as the weather wasn't promising.
Clear skies at midnight, as you'll see. At 3 am, I drove to Seattle, as the clouds thickened. My planned spot would have worked, with the eclipse over the Space Needle, but it was socked in. Drove back to near home, to Richmond Beach, above the Saltwater Park. Caught a few sucker holes.
The eclipse image is processed with Aurora HDR. After that, the clouds rolled in and the moon was gone. As you can see, totality was about to happen.
