SUMMARY
A deep partial lunar eclipse, where approximately 96% of the Moon will be covered by Earth's shadow, is occurring soon, resulting in a reddish, blood-moon-like appearance. Unlike solar eclipses, no special eye protection is required. For photography, a sturdy tripod and a remote shutter release or self-timer are recommended to minimize camera shake. Suggested settings include 1-2 second exposures at f/2.8 and ISO 800-1600, with adjustments based on captured images. Bracketing exposures is advised due to the significant brightness difference between the shadowed and illuminated parts of the Moon.
TAKEAWAYS

Use a tripod and remote shutter or self-timer to reduce camera shake.
Experiment with exposures around 1-2 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 800-1600.
Bracket exposures to account for varying brightness during the eclipse.
