This was about the best I could do with the scope by the time the moon cleared the trees and houses.

ISO 1600, 1 sec. Taken at 18:39.

Thanks David
I've played around a fair bit in the past with my Canon EOS 7D and 70-200mm f/4 IS lense experimenting with procedures and processing to achieve some reasonable APs... still a work in progress with much work still to be done.
Have recently acquired a GoTo mount and Orion ED80T so now have a whole lot more to learn...lol Tonights photos taken with my dslr attached to Orion scope... cheers!

Eclipse from Adelaide

Eclipsed moon rising over the Adelaide hills. The viewing area at the airport was quite full so quitea a bit of interest in the event.

#1 Already past full eclipse as it rose next to the TV towers.

#2 Moon, Mars and Spica if you look hard

#3 Ownership of this one is disputed. My daughter was watching the camera and hit the shutter for this one, but I did all the setup.

#4 A gratuitous take off for good measure.

Lunar eclipse from Maroochydore beach.

Here's what I bagged with my 1000D, with kit lenses, on a tripod, obviously cropped and compressed.

From the last photo I can see it looked MUCH better than here. It looked APOCALYPTIC here. It could not have been worse. And it had been fine during the day... And today... CLOUDFREE. Only during the eclipse it looked apocalyptic.
You shared your nice setup.... I am sharing the view through my online telescope....

Depressing!

The view of the horizon at the eastern most point of australia. Not a cloud in the sky (except for THAT one) It was pretty good when it got high enough though. Did anyone else think that it looked eerily like mars when it was just past totality ie big red sphere, dark detail in the middle with a white end on it.

Nah, Mars is only that big in August.

hi All,
having a good location for the Lunar Eclipse at Culburra SA
the sighting was good, my camera work left me with a lot of work too do in the future, practice makes perfection, although a pleasant night was had, although I have a couple of keepers from my camera work from last night,
regards,
Peter,
