[Sausageman]

I'm looking forward to seeing some Lunar Eclipse photo's after Friday morning's event.
I will be up to watch it, weather permitting, but look forward to some awesome photo's from you guy's.

Here's hoping the weather holds out..... The only full moon where you DON'T want clouds - it's not looking fantastic so far.....

[iceman]

Fantastic? BOM says showers for the next 3-5 days in Sydney area! :(

[Lee]

That's why I said "not looking fantastic"..... :P

[iceman]

I swear the word "not" was NOT there before! :P

[Lee]

Yep - I've cracked your server and can edit my posts invisibly.... :evil:

I am having a radio interview tomorrow morning (thursday 7th sept) to sing the praises of the partial eclipse to the non believers out there on 102.9 KOFM on behalf of the Newcastle Astronomical Society. The time is, well , somewhere between 5.30 am and 6am. well its better than nothing, and no they havent met me:P , I have an excellent head for radio:rofl: .

Don't forget to mention IIS Houghy !!!

[h0ughy]

I will try to do that. my setup on Friday will be the trust Pentax *istds and the tripod. in a sheltered place and hopefully the sucker holes will exist to the west!

[Astroman]

Glad you said West Houghy I was going to look East...

[h0ughy]

not looking good, 6 hours to go and the weather is crap. One shot from sunrise this morning, then we had 40mm rain throughout the day and still have a howling gale force winds:sadeyes: will get up near total for a peek but not hopeful:shrug: other photos taken tonight:lol:

[iceman]

Got nothing but clouds (and lots of wind)

[gaa_ian]

Good skies here, just not much Photographic skill :P
But here it is anyhow
Taken on a tripod with a Canon S2-IS @ 12x zoom.

:) Here's what I captured on the video camera.

[Muddy Diver]

Set my alarm for 03.45, checked weather, went back to bed. Awoke for no apparent reason at 04.55, checked weather, transparency approx 1/10 but at that moment the moon was appearing in full between gusty cloud. Rushed to scope, grabbed camera and snapped (still half asleep) for 2 - 3 minutes before all dissapeared again behid more permanent stuff. This is the first full moon that I havent been able to fit the whole planet within my scope for an afocal so had to get a couple of bottom and top halves. Very dissapointed.

Can anyone stitch or save anything from these shots? Would be indebted if someone with more capability than I could salvage something after my efforts

[fringe_dweller]

heres a couple more for the mix :) , fought with clouds and in the end rain LOL but still got 60 or 70 shots in the end. 8 inch dob nikon cp 4500 afocal. to tired to do a good job on processing maybe, these will do. :-))) great show!

[iceman]

Great result Kearn!

[h0ughy]

Nice shots guys and gals

[[1ponders]]

Great to see you guys getting some shots in. Nothing here but trees and a quick glimps out the bedroom window.

[davidpretorius]

well done all!

[gaa_ian]

The Photos are Great, but none quite match the experience at the eyepiece do they ?
The distinct "Bite" out of the moon that you see visually is quite graphic !

[Volans]

These are my two images. Taken with the 350D using the 75-300mm zoom at max. In the over-exposed shot you can just make out some features in the eclipsed part; Plato and Sinus Iridum can be spotted.

Peter.

PS the over-exposed image has had the horrendous blue chromatic abberation (caused by the 75-300 lens) removed.

[Lee]

Great shots guys..... I didn't get the scope out.... being 4.45 and all! Bino's showed it off beautifully.....

Hi guys,

From Kuala Lumpur, the weather isn't that great either. Some thin clouds are covering everything everywhere, but luckily the moon still look presentable. Photo using Sony Mavica FD97, at 1/500sec f/2.8. Too lazy to setup tripod, just hand held.
