On Saturday night, I was outside preparing to photograph the Total Lunar Eclipse which was due to take place in one hour – taking some test images, getting focus right, and testing the upload process as I was planning to supply images to SLOOH as part of their lunar eclipse event.
The seeing was absolutely fantastic, hardly any movement in the Moon and so I grabbed a quick 100 frames to produce this pre-eclipse Full Moon image. The actual Total Lunar Eclipse images of the Moon will come in the next few days
As usual, there's a black and white version and the colour version, processed using the
method in my tutorial.

December Full Moon 1 Hour Before the Total Lunar eclipse
I think it's my best full Moon image to date, thanks to the good steady seeing.
Canon 40D, ED80, 1/250s exposure @ ISO400. 70 of the best 100 frames stacked in Registax and processed in Photoshop.
Comments welcome.
