For those of you who are in the right zone and are lucky enough to have a clear sky tonight, we've just put up a 48-Hr speed challenge for the Lunar Eclipse. Enjoy!

ETA: Note that this challenge is Standard Editing but we have flagged it to allow time-lapse images for those that want to give that a try. Normally time-lapse images are not allowable in Standard Editing.

Speed Challenges are sort of what they are, they often do not apply to a lot of people for one reason or another. How about creating a cookie that looks like the moon and a background you can work with? :-)

Its also a blood moon tonight, and full. I have seen some good photos with a piece of baloney on a window! =)

In fact, I think Bear did a food thing on a window eons ago

In the right zone, but will be sleeping, regardless of the weather. :-)

Uh, a lunar eclipse can only occur at the Full Moon ... the exact color depends on what pollutants are in Earth's atmosphere during totality.

BLOOD MOON:

The phenomenon whereby the moon in total eclipse appears reddish in color as it is illuminated by sunlight filtered and refracted by the earth's atmosphere.
The �blood moon� will last about an hour.

Well , round of applause for the leading lady Clouds, and a side note to Haze who also made an appearance.

Bear, I think it was an onion slice on your sliding patio doors

Clarity on time lapse please.

Do I have to use every photo in the time lapse? Or can I do all the layers then just shut off a layer, is that acceptable? Like can I use them all but only show what is in focus?

You'd be insane to use all of 'em. They'd all overlap and cancel each other out visually. Cherry-pick 'em, and good luck :-)
