A couple of months ago I posted about how I shot the Blood Moon solar eclipse.  I was just digging through my email inbox today and I found an email from one of the producers at NBC who kindly sent me a link to the new spot that briefly features one of my blood moon photos. You can view the spot HERE. For those that don’t live in the US (that includes me), Nightly News on NBC is currently the highest rated nightly news show with over 9 million viewers every week.  Pretty neat!

I’m writing this from an airport lounge so I don’t have too much time, but I wanted to make sure you guys know about this amazing lunar event that’s scheduled to take place on the night of the 27/28 September at 2:47 am UTC on September 28th,  that’s 10:47 pm EDT on Sunday, September 27. The thing that’s special about this one is that the Blood Moon style of lunar eclipse won’t take place again until 2033!  That’s 18 years away! Lat time this event occurred, I posted a detailed tutorial about how to shoot it and process the results
