Blood Moon - Lunar Eclipse

[John Holland]

Yesterday (20 Jan 2019) we had a lunar eclipse visible in my area. So I set up my camera and biggest lens with a 1.4X and 2X to give me 1120mm of focal length. The camera ISO was set to 1600, and 0.5 seconds exposure (I did have to boost the exposure in post by 2.5 stops).

Later I'll post a sequence of shots for the eclipse

Superb! Really superb. I'm afraid to admit...I slept in. It was gone by the time I got up.

Great job John. I really like the time lapse. What was the duration between shots?

 

[John Holland]

Thank you Milan. The time duration between shots was about 15 minutes.

Cracking sequence and shot. Clouded over just before where I was but the lead up was impressive.
