Thanks for the nice comments everyone, it certainly was a bit of a marathon effort and at times I almost hit the wall! I ended up missing one bit of the background mosaic as the panes overlapped in a staircase layout rather than a strip, as I didn’t pay attention to the coordinates of the centre of each pane. When I cropped the background Über mosaic, one tiny corner was ahem, missing!
Fortunately, I was able to grab a few exposures on the night and add the segment in, although it had a tough gradient with the Moon so close.
I’m pleased that the weather cleared up in Brisbane for the event, although I did have a Plan B which was to include an almost similar Moon captured on 26th January 2008.
Cheers
Dennis
