topoxforddoc Posted March 3, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) After Andy's thread, here's a lunar eclipse shot from tonight, about ten minutes ago at totality. Not the world's sharpest, but there's not much light. Shot on R9/DMR, 280/2.8 APO (old) plus 2x extender (old). Never believed the moon went red, but it does!

stuny Posted March 4, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 4, 2007 Charlie - Delightful, and I very much like the framing and color. All it requires is a bit of sharpening.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdb Posted March 4, 2007 Share #8 Posted March 4, 2007 Charlie, Your picture is wonderful. I watched this eclipse last night, but did not have the equipment to take this picture. When you look at it for a while, you get an incredible 3D sensation. And the color is really very well rendered. It really looked like that. Congratulations, Gérard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted March 4, 2007 Share #9 Posted March 4, 2007 Here was my try at it. Tough to get a steady shot. On the longer exposures when it was eclispsed, I think some of it was the moon moving. I used the DMR with 400mm and 2x APO. The first was at 800iso, the second at 400iso. One second exposures for both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topoxforddoc Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted March 4, 2007 Rob, Great shots. I had problems with getting a sharp moon when in totality. There's enough movement in the sky to blur the images on long exposures. I had some of mine on for 16 secs and that was way too long. Anything much more than a second or two was difficult. It was certainly a fun way to pass an hour or two last night. Best wishes, Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
