All except last one taken at f11, 1/400, ISO400, with 70-200VR + TC20EII @ 400mm.
I had trouble getting the full eclipse image sharp. Anyone else have this problem? I was manual focussing.

Lunar Eclipse from Wollongong
I Finally PP'd my lunar eclipse shots.

Brad I like this a lot. I understand why it's composed the way it is but the anal retentive in me wants to see the orange moon first not last - go figure.
I looked at the large version - I wouldn't be overly concerned about softness since when this is printed (and you will do so I hope) it will be viewed from enough distance for that not to matter Peter

Re: Lunar Eclipse from Wollongong
no focus problems at all, just focus manually at the start of the evening when the moon is nice and bright, and don't try to adjust it later 
What exposure did you use during totality? I suspect its a combination of image motion during a long exposure, with maybe some camera shake. Gordon D70, D200, CP5700
Re: Lunar Eclipse from Wollongong
I cant remember off the top of my head. Around 5 or 10 seconds. I was using a solid tripod + self timer so shouldnt have been any camera movement. Maybe some vibration due to mirror slap though??
ahhhh... 400mm for 10 sec on the moon= trailing. The sky moves at 15"/second and a rough rule of thumb for 35mm was keep the exposure under 600/focal length and trailing will be minimal. For DX sensors 400/fl would be more appropriate, so if you went 10 sec thats 10X as long as required to show trailing. I didn't need to go over about 2.5 sec I think, at 200ISO during totality, but I was working at f/4

I didn't stop to think about trailing. I'll remember that for next time.
