ok, here is best i could do with the haze we have down here.
progression, from about 35%, to 90%, to approx 98%.
it's still dark now, actually, but the haze was getting thicker, the light dimmer and the bugs more annoying, so I came in.
Those are great! Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
Here's a few from my back porch.....
Rain stopped for a few minutes, but the best I could do is a hand held through the clouds!
It was completely cloudy here, was pretty bummed I didn't get to see or shoot it!

Same here. This is the first time I've really been interested in photographing it. Figures.

Great photos, the last two are intense, I will have to show the wife these as we missed it. I got up a few times in the night but never saw it. I think it ended up being around 4am.
I went out at moonrise, but being on Pacific Time the eclipse was pretty much at its peak when there was still a lot of light in the sky and being low, lots of pollution. In short it was tough. This is my best attempt.

I like looking at all these shots. I love these types of events because it gets a lot folks working their cameras 
It may have been cloudy, but you got one heck of a nice cloud formation and that shot turned out great!
You picked up the details in the lighter areas... it's subtle and dark, but having surface details is awesome - and not easy.

Over in my neck of the woods, the clouds rolled in shortly after the umbra began rolling across the moon. I did have a five minute break in the clouds about 10 minutes after the moon passed the central shadow, so I was able to snap some shots. Besides the clouds, I encountered a few technical hiccups.
I love eclipses, but a full moon means flat light. The waxing and waning moon, even right before and after the full moon, makes for much more dramatic lighting and detailed shots. If the eclipse was your first attempt at the moon, give it a try again in a day or two.
Anyways, I wanted to do a series, but clouds left me with pretty much only two views.

I didn't realize there was a thread on this here. I posted my eclipse photos here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/467035-Lunar-Eclipse-this-month-9-27-15/page3

Great conditions here on the east coast of Scotland, but crappy camera, ... Heres some of my pics...
Love how the weather never cooperates but everybody goes out anyway! 
You got star trails in the blood moon shot. Fantastic!
Nice shots, guys. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great shot.this is from last year's eclipse, April 2014.
D4, 600mm + 2X, f/8, ISO 6400, 1/4 sec, tripod.
cropped from about 1/4 of the frame.
it's virtually impossible to get a truly sharp image during totality without a motorized tracker.
To my eyes these are even better. Nice nice work.ok, here is best i could do with the haze we have down here.
