For about 14 minutes from 11.11pm on Wednesday, the moon's closest point of orbit with the Earth is due to coincide with total lunar eclipse - making for the first blood supermoon since 1982. Tomorrow's event will be the first time that a "supermoon" has coincided with a total lunar eclipse since December 1982. "There is no perfect setting to take a photo of the lunar eclipse but start with these basics and go from there."
