A mesmerising Total Lunar Eclipse

[shahgazer]

Hi all,

I got a pretty decent view of the eclipse, despite some thin clouds in the beginning, and some fluffy clouds towards the end. Totality is spot on. Luckily it was a very long eclipse, and the probability of the getting a sucker hole in between is higher! :)

Here are some of the shots and a composition.

All taken with Fuji X-T20 on the Skywatcher 120ED (F=900mm), except for the wide shot, with 5Dmkii and a 50mm lens (heavily cropped).

Wow Shah! Very impressive. I love the 3 + 7 moon montage! That would make a wicked poster for a science classroom.

Beautiful shots, Shah :thumbsup:

Wow that 5th one is a stunner, has a 3d look to it. Defiantly a better view for those further west than the east coast of Au.

Thank you all for the nice responds. The sky wasn't perfect, so I have to work on the only available clear shots. :2thumbs:
