Lunar Eclipse video
Hi All,
I too was out last night.
See http://members.optusnet.com.au/~rat156
Sorry for the crappy html, I was in a hurry.
Details:
Nikon D100 in time lapse mode, one shot every 30s @ prime focus.
Combination of 230ish frames.
Meade LX200GPS with f6.3 focal reducer.
Registered and video generated in Registax to avi.
Size reduced and converted to quicktime in IMovie on MacG4.
Share and enjoy
Stuart

Thats very cool.... I thought I saw it as good as it would get.... could only get glimpses at 9.40pm and 10.20pm..... so missed the maximal time - it really increased in that time!.....
Great movie!

Thanks for all the positive feedback.
Yes, it's a great example of field rotation as well...
Uncompressed file sizes 126Mb as full colour avi, 43Mb as 256 greyscale...
Cheers
