Photographers of all stripes took advantage of the last lunar eclipse until 2014 early on Saturday, Dec. 10 and set up their tripods to catch some photos of the moon being shadowed by the earth. It was visible in the cold clear air until just before sunrise when a marine layer moved in to obscure the view.

Photographer Greg McCorkle took a sequence of images of the event. That's not the easiest task since the moon after all IS a moving target meaning, at regular intervals, McCorkle had to move the camera, re-center the moon and make his exposure. The result is the composite image above.

He shoots with a Canon 5d.
