Santa Clarita Valley photographer Kevin Karzin was up early Wednesday morning, shooting the Blue Moon, total lunar eclipse and Super Moon from the Iron Horse Trail on Magic Mountain Parkway just east of Interstate 5 in Valencia.

The U.S. has not seen such a celestial combination since 1866, and Karzin, president of the Santa Clarita Valley Photographers Association, head of Kevin Karzin Photography and an SCVTV/SCVNews.com contributor, caught the phases.

People on the West Coast were able to see the entire total phase of the eclipse, which started at 3:48 a.m. local time, according to Space.com. The moon started to pass out of the umbra at 6:07 a.m. and set at 6:54 a.m., before it emerged from the umbral shadow.
