outstanding telephoto and a detailed moon

blood moon?

No pruszworks,This happens because the moon's light travels a longer distance through the atmosphere. “As it travels a longer path, more of the shorter, bluer wavelengths of light are scattered away, leaving more of the longer, redder wavelengths.” Dust and pollution can also add to this reddish hue

So knowing this phase of the moon wasn't enough, that's what science is like there may also be unknown aspects, great!
