Great series!! I love them!

Good one Dan!!!

I only thought about doing a squence after the fact, so mine were really hard to line up, and I gave up

Very cool sequence. Probably the only thing I would do is to colour correct the 2nd shot so that it matches the other moons in the bottom left, otherwise perfect

Brilliant sequence... though I'll admit I'm a little peeved that every single one of the component moons you took looks better than any single shot I took tonight. Oh, well.

Thanks guys, i took out my 'hardly' used 400 mm cleaned it up and wow, its still one of my sharpest lenses, i am going to do some day shooting with it, the backgrounds on 2.8 look amazing!!

What a fantastic series

And how cool was that moon- looked at the sky more than I looked at the ball at tennis .... at least it gave me an excuse for my shitty tennis

Love it

Like a string of pearls. Excellent!

Oh dear. I thought I was only ripping off NASA.

Will get rid off it Dan if you object.

LOL did you do the same thing?

I saw this layout years ago......never had the right thing to do it with, this eclipse seemed perfect...whats the reference to NASA mean?

I saw a similar pic on NASA today at some stage researching where it would be best to take the photos from.

As it turned out, not where there were 20 other people with PnS cameras firing flashes like cracker night.

Both of you have done a good job both with the images and the display of the sequence - but if I may offer some advice, you have placed the totally eclipsed moon at the end of the sequence where it should be placed before the moon came out of the eclipse.. Astronomers will notice this straight away.

I was bored 20 minutes into it. I wasnt standing around for another 80 minutes to get the full cycle.
