Default Lunar eclipse from Colorado

From my location, the Moon set right as it entered totality, just 8
minutes before sunrise. Made for some interesting shooting (especially
as I first had to climb a 30 meter high rock formation, in the dark,
to get a good vantage. It was 0°F, which played havoc with my camera
batteries.)

Excellent, Chris, given the challenges of cold rock and dealing with
cold batteries. Thank you!

Cool photos, Chris. Thanks for posting those. Some elements of
Colorado that I definitely miss. Mountains, and crystal clear skies.
