Lunar eclipse

I set up the tripod & camera and messed around with the settings. I really couldn't tell what I was getting, my vision is horrible. They were all done in manual mode. Once the moon started to dim, you can make out the surface ever so slight.

First pic I set iso1600 1/40s f/29 - start of the LC.
Then i started messing around trying to get away from the burn out effect. iso1600 1/2s, f/13.
It started to cloud up during the "fill up" - i dropped the iso100, helped with burn/solar spots. f/22 s/2.0
Cropped in 100% iso100, 4.0s, f/16
Getting darker out, bumped shutter speed down 6.0s f/16 iso100

Last pic of the night before the clouds rolled in for good - 8.0s, f/16, iso100
