Default Total Lunar Eclipse-28 Aug'07

Hi,

Another Moon shot - with 2 stars this time! Taken at mid eclipse.

Dec 4th-Just added another Moon image processed to show the background of stars, something I have not seen in any other posted eclipse images.(c)Watermarked.


Enjoy and Seasons Greetings to All
Just added one before and one after mid eclipse.

Takahashi FS-102 and a Nikon D200. Seeing was very poor, cloud early on missed the very start of the partial phase, the video recording shows the Moon surrounded by a 'boiling' atmosphere. Little lunar detail.

Clear skies...
Shevill

Beautiful shot. I love the color and the stars at the top of the image.

Frame that one!

That's what I wish my eclipse shots would come out like but they never do.

This eclipse was clouded out however. So I can say this is how mine would have looked like if it had been clear. I think my nose is growing.

Not one of my shots even came close. Beautiful work. What exposures did you use at totality?

Kind regards
Matt
