Hyades, Pleiades & Total Lunar Eclipse

[astronobob (Bob)]

So many Eclipse captures on the forum, wow ?

After a larger gap in the cloud & noticing the Pleiades low in the NW, thought to change lenses & try captureing the area ?
Managed a few scrambled Subs before cloud hindered the Pleiades ?
This image comprises of 7 x 3.2 sec subs from a 600D with a 50mm F/L @ F/5, iso 800 with ICNR !
Hope you find it ok

Sorry for the PB link, I must take time out to fiqure attaching the more conveniant thumbnials !

It was a beautiful site to see so many stars on a Full Moon

You've managed to control the exposure well there Bob.

Certainly difficult to do without an eclipse at full moon!!

Beautiful shot.

Nice one Bob I wanted to do a widefield like that during the eclipse too, encompassing the pleiades all the way to the orion nebula but sadly clouds limited me to only getting a couple of close up shots.
