On the one hand, I don't have the proper equipment to be photographing the moon. On the other hand, it's amazing what small handheld cameras can produce even in amateur hands. (These shots are with a Panasonic DMC-ZS25 using the "intelligent auto" setting; the camera was handheld with image stabilization software employed.)
The first photo was taken at approximately 5:45 AM, when the Moon was fully in the Earth's shadow. It was dim and red. The second photo was taken at about 6:30 AM. About half the moon has escaped the shadow. The sky has already brightened with the dawn, although because the moon is so bright the sky still appears dark in the image (and even then, the moon is overexposed so that no features are visible on its surface).
