Total Lunar Eclipse, October 2014

[Octane (Humayun)]

Hi all,

Here's my effort. Nabbed in a 5-second gap between clouds.

As I don't have access to my full frame Canon's and the CCD would have been no use for this, I used my wife's 50D. Giving the equivalent field of view of 1,360mm.

No colour adjustments -- pretty much as is out of the camera.

Takahashi FSQ-106N, Takahashi Extender-Q 1.6x, Canon EOS-50D
1.3s f/8 850mm at iso640

Thanks, all.

Edit: compressed to 67% in Photoshop's Save to Web feature, has induced a fair amount of artefacts. Oh, well.

Very nice H. Shame the atmosphere was working against most of us in a big way last night.

nice grab - noisy but all of the images i have seen so far are

[multiweb (Marc)]

Nice and sharp.

Cheers, guys.

Yep, David, such is life stuck with an APS-C camera while I wait for mine to come home!

The original image is a bit less noisy -- the compression to post on IIS hasn't helped matters.
