My first lunar Eclipse, so I stayed up half the night to make sure I got to see it and also take shots of it.
Setup:
Skywatcher 10" Newtonian
NEQ 6 Mount (modified with belt kit)
NIKON D7100 with coma Corrector (probably didn't the coma corrector for the moon but it helps keep everything enclosed)
I programmed the camera using Backyard Nikon to take shots every 5 mins. I also took shots in-between occasionally with greater exposure to capture the red glow when the rest of the moon was too bright for the camera to see red moon using normal settings.
Processed in Photoshop. I attempted to stack normal and over exposed images to show both white and red moon in one picture.
Would be great to hear any advice or opinions to help improve my technique.
