Lunar Eclipse Animation

[gbeal]

Hi all,
well there have been some very nice eclipse images. While it was a dull sight to some (and I put myself in this bunch as well), I shot about 10 images, and had the slave animate them. It is attached.
Originally it was somewhat larger, and showed better clarity, but to allow it to upload we have reduced the image quality somewhat.
Regards,
Gary

Excellent animation Gary!

I love the little 4wd rover doing laps near Tycho :P

Hey, you weren't supposed to see those dust bits. The quality can't have been too bad after all.

Paul,
thanks. The lack of visual Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh factor on this event was in direct proportion the the wind chill factor, that much that I carried the GM8/refractor combo around into the lee of the hanger, and still froze. Heck it was cold. I must be getting old. Bring some thermals when you come across it has cooled significantly lately.

Nice work Gary. Twas cloudy here..
I bet you were grateful for that nice little GM-8 when lugging it around the hanger! Sure beats those old heavy mounts you used to have.
Cheers :)

You betcha, and yes, it is possible to carry the Mewlon and GM8 at once, perfect
