Nail the Blood Moon: 7 Tips for March 3's Total Lunar Eclipse

Space.com offers a seven-point guide to photographing the March 3, 2026 total lunar eclipse: know the exact local timing and best western viewing locations, check forecasts for clear skies, practice focusing on the Moon, adjust exposure during the event with bracketing and varied shutter speeds, and leverage a stable setup (tripod, remote, RAW). For smartphones, stabilize and frame reflections rather than zoom. Totality lasts about 58 minutes, with the best views in western North America, and this is the last such eclipse until late 2028–29.
