Discover how to photograph a lunar eclipse in this tutorial video.
During a lunar eclipse, the Moon passes behind Earth’s shadow, which blocks it from sunlight. At the moment of totality, the lunar disk is not completely dark but has a reddish hue, due to sunlight refracted through Earth’s atmosphere.

I may have missed it, but I would add that if your camera is an SLR and has a 'mirror lock up' function, then use that, as well. It will prevent the shake from the camera mirror from slightly blurring the photo. What it does, if you don't know, is to flip the mirror up a second or so before opening the shutter to allow the small amount of shake to dissipate before the camera exposes.
My daughter woke me up at 5 am. It was -10 Celcius so goïng outside was not an option since we have the flu. I opened a window. The moon was beautiful. Almost a full eclipse and tried to make a photo with my Huawei 20. By accident, I pushed the button inside the dark bedroom. Then I made a pic of the moon. Turned out that a phone can make perfect bright pictures in the dark but not outside of the moon. Still, I'm happy I got up.
Is this guy Greek? lol
Nikon p1000 is perfect for this
Excellent Information. Thanks!
You probably don't need an external timer for that because nearly every newer SLR has a built-in interval timer. And if you want to track the moon automatically then you would need an astro tracker like the Vixen Polarie, SkyWatcher Star Adventurer or iOptron SkyTracker.
