My friend Jerry, in Arizona, took this picture of the lunar eclipse with a Nikon D100 DSLR and Nikkor 180mm lense. Aperture at f/2.8 for 2 seconds, tripod mounted, taken 2/20/2008 at 8:54 pm (Arizona time).
It appears to me, superior to the composite photo published on the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) site. You may need to click on the image and view the full-size version to compare with the APOD composite.

I agree that Jerry's photo is as good a quality (resolution, etc) as IPOD's. However, IPOD is overexposed (I think) in order to allow the starry background to show; this also gives the Moon an eerie halo (caused by what? The Earth's atmosphere?).
Great shot.
I would like to see the full res image.
