Hi Duncan, I use Photomatix for combining the images. Most of the time via Exposure blending mode. I then move it to photoshop for final editing.
I think for that particular partial lunar eclipse, i used the Tone Mapping mode in Photomatix. I thought I may have overdone it because the right hand edges were overexposed unnaturally as an after effect of the blending of the images.
Since then, I've tried to go easy on the sliders and make sure that the final hdr image doesn't veer too far away from reality.
