There's a total lunar eclipse coming up January 31, 2018. The moon will be descending towards the horizon in the United States, and may set depending upon where you are located.
Here's an example of how a lunar eclipse progresses through its phases as it descends towards the horizon. I'll try to get a blog post out in the next couple of days, with notes on the moon direction, elevation, best lenses to use, plus links to more resources.
----------------------------------
I captured the landscape around Convict Lake, well lit by the moonlight as the eclipse started, then I captured the moon at roughly 8 minute intervals thereafter and merged the sequential images into the original exposure.
