A mesmerising Total Lunar Eclipse

[shahgazer (Shah)]

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).

Higher res here in my flickr page. Thanks

Very nice work.

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

Beautiful shots, Shah

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.

Agreed! That moon compilation is fantastic! Very clear and well organised. Thanks for sharing

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