I was taking photos of lunar eclipse this morning. Couldn’t see the blood moon through live view! I had to hope for the best with my finder scope.
Am I doing something wrong?
Here’s a photo of the eclipse

No Tom, you're not doing anything wrong. What you are experiencing is normal at least in my experience. You may find if you take the shot then look at the pic in the screen and zoom in you may pic up more detail but that's as good as it gets. When you start taking deep space photos, you have to find ways around not being able to " see " what you're taking photos of. Refer to my previous post........
Make sure you're focusing properly, faint objects will disappear when you are even mildly out of focus.
Don't give up or get disheartened, it's not easy but it's worth it !
