Thank you so much Mike
That means so much. Yeah I was quite surprised I could go that long without some small amount of blurring even with the NEQ6 Pro mount set on lunar tracking considering I couldn't properly polar allign the mount with all the cloud around. I just plonked the tripod legs down on their marked positions on the concrete slab I use and started taking shots. It did drift a small amount over the course of the eclipse but obviously not enough to effect a 20 second shot. I had to do a 20 second exposure as this particular shot was actually taken through some faint wispy high level cloud, thus making the moon even dimmer than normal.
