We won’t see another until December 2010. I captured these images with my Canon 20D with a 300MM 4.0L lens. I chose my 20D over my 5D to get the 1.6X benefit of the smaller sensor making my 300mm a 480mm. Even with that focal length I had to crop these images by about 50% to get a decent sized moon.

I wonder what people thought back in the dark ages or before when they experienced a lunar eclipse. Must have been a little scary to them.
