I shot the Full Worm Moon Lunar Eclipse from midnight until 5:15 am. While I was using the Vaonis Vespera smart telescope, I also shot with my regular camera gear...the OM-i M2 and Zuiko 100-400mm lens.
I much prefer the OM-1 images, as they show off the lovely red colors.
Here's a couple and a composite image with images from the main phases.
Some quackers from Old Reid this afternoon. The theme today was "Greater." We're starting to see a variety of ducks and geese move through as the ice melts. Of note today were Lesser Scaups and a single Greater Scaup. The Lesser Scaups have dark head feathers and a bit of a crest on the back of their head....whereas the Greater Scaup has green head feathers and a more rounded head. The Greater is not rare, but it is unusual to see one for me at Old Reid. Also saw the Greater White-Fronted Geese that Bill saw yesterday, and some Hooded Mergansers.

This Great Blue Heron was protecting it's access to open water at the CJ Brown overflow.
We watched as it chased away another heron, then came back to gloat.
