Lunar Eclipse Over Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles
Astrophotographer Vince Edwards captured the lunar eclipse of April 14-15, 2014, over Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. He writes in an e-mail message to Space.com: "I shot about 950 photos over the course of an hour to capture the moon as the earth's shadow became visible. The light 'streaks' on the windows are composited from a separate shot where I captured a 2" exposure beginning at 50mm and zooming out to 15mm."

Lunar Eclipse Over Golden, Colorado
Astrophotographer Jeff Warner sent in a composite photo of the total lunar eclipse of April 14-15, 2014, taken in Golden, Colorado. From his website: "I think [the photo] came out as well as possible for an unmanned camera with no exposure changes during the sequence. The set of 40 images span 6 hours (8:16 PM to 2:16 AM, when the moon left the field of view). You can see the planet Mars above the moon, with the star Spica immediately below the moon (the star Spica has recently 'starred' in a wide variety of astrophotographic endeavors, most notably Comet ISON’s path prior to its demise rounding the sun). The moon begins just above South Table Mountain’s 'Castle Rock,' with the last visible image of the moon over Mt. Zion and Lookout Mountain (Golden, Colorado)."
