Lunar Eclipse composite

Whilst it is just another eclipse, I would have to say it was one of the darkest I have seen in 45 years of observing the night sky. Visually it looked dark and ruddy. Binoculars were helpful to show the colour a little better but photographically the colour showed up well. Most of the images were around 2-4 seconds, whilst during the partial phase I used short exposures.

I hope you like the style. The image is not as sharp as I would like due to putting a 300mm f2.8 lens and D4 on a Skywatcher Star adventurer. Not really up to snuff for that type of load.
