That's a very nice composite, John!
I am going to show it to my daughter tonight, - to reiterate our
discussion on how lunar eclipses work.
We were lucky to have a clear sky. But the entire event was past her
bed time. And we were driving home while she was sleeping in the car.
We made sure we got close to home just before 11 pm (CST), and woke her
up. So, she saw the totality and then we watched for a bit how the light
started showing up on the side, and then she went to bed at home.
But she was still quite sleepy, so, going over it again with this nice
composite as well as close-up images from Larry would be reinforcing that
educational moment.
It is rather funny that she said that she liked the solar eclipse much
better: It was during the day (didn't need to sleep, and the effect was
more drastic).
Thank you for sharing this.

So, I went out and stood in what felt like an Arctic Wind for 3 hours or
so and took pictures of the moon. As usual, the instructions for how to do
it right were at home on my desk waiting so I could find out everything I
did wrong.
Still, I didn't muff it as badly as I did the Solar Eclipse in 2017.

K-1, Tokina AT-X Pro 80-200mm f/2.8 @ 200mm & F/16, ISO 100, various wrong
shutter speeds so I didn't catch much of the red tint.
I was in town when I took these, right next to the parking lot for a city
park. Raleigh, Cary & Wake County have been installing new LED street
lights that don't cause as much light pollution as the old lighting.
I've noticed it a couple of times in the last year or so, driving back to
Raleigh on the Interstate late some night when it's overcast there's less
of a bubble of light over the city.
