Thanks guys.

While Lunar eclipses are seen by some as passe’, I find it a challenge to properly tame the vast dynamic range of these events and the resulting images can be very engaging when you get it right.

I left in the scattering/glow from the deep star-field exposure that totally blew out the bright edge of the moon to convey just how bright that edge was….figuring this was a more honest depiction of the scene than trying to mask it.

My only grumble was that I misplaced an adapter I needed to use an EOS camera with my AP field-flattener so had to image the eclipse without it (the moon was not going to wait!).

Rookie error I'll hopefully avoid for the next one.
