Here is my belated offering for the lunar eclipse from last week.  We had a lot of rain in the days immediately preceding the eclipse, so I was pleasantly surprised to get some moments of clear sky in between clouds to observe the eclipse.  I captured several images during intermittent cloud cover, and the image below represents a stack of 8 images, stacked on the Moon.  Because the stars trail in that stack, I opted to select one of the base images to use as the background.  The time corresponds to 12:12am PDT.  I used a 6" f/6 Newtonian telescope with a Nikon D500.  Exposures were 4s at ISO 200.  Overall this was a very nice lunar eclipse, with the Moon relatively high in the sky with a long period of totality and beautiful coloration.

Nice pic, thanks for sharing.

 

I very much enjoying posting threads of the Super (rediculous name) Moon. Why can't we have the "Super Blood-Red Max" Total Lunar Eclipse Moon. Yes, definitely!!!!

 

Clear skies and keep looking up!
