Thanks for all the feedback guys. :thumbsup:



I'm trying to play with overlays a bit this week-end and do some kind of illustration to show the outlines of the penumbra and umbra. Will update the video when done.

Updated with HDR. Ingress to the right of the field.

[Octane]

That is simply outstanding.

That graphic is awesome, too.

A Malin, I suspect. :)

That's great Marc :thumbsup:my exposures didn't quite have the dynamic range to pull off HDR shot (I tried the lit area was over exposed), these turned out great.

Cheers

[Bassnut]

Seriously professional video, excellent work and a pleasure to view Marc.

[RB]

Fantastic work.

:thumbsup:

Thanks again all. This is not a true HDR as such as I didn't use bracketed exposures, more like a stack of 18 x 20s for each still. That's why the transition area between light and shade is wider. But you wouldn't get the details otherwise and the noise would be too overwhelming.

Excellent work, Marc!

[Placidus]

Superb job, Marc. I particularly like the "three moons" composite. A great poster. Very evocative. Best, Mike.

As others have said Marc, awesome stuff mate. Just as well you didn't come down to Robertson, we had about a three second window as it was almost done, but we will get together for an FSQ owners night :lol:

Ha yeah, sorry for bailing out on you mate. The whole east coast was a write-off. :sadeyes:

Picked my new toy last Friday. Woohoo! :) Haven't even unpacked it yet. Gotta work out the adapters now. The fun begins. :thumbsup:
