Thanks so much for posting this lovely pic - - we are under cloudy skies here in the east and were unable to see this for ourselves. Thanks for sharing your experience! Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: November 24, 2009 Comments: 6

Thank you for sharing. Can't believe someone doesn't give a 10 for this shot. Well, if I had more than a 10, you would have gotten it. Eclipses are so hard to shoot. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: January 6, 2005 Comments: 1919

Tack sharp, excellent detail. What is an AstroTrac mount? Thanks for letting us know about how you did this! Marijka Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: September 9, 2003 Comments: 5701

Perfect shot! I didn't get to see it here due to the cloud cover so I really appreciate those who post their shots on here. Thank you and Happy Holidays! Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: November 8, 2010 Comments: 922

Beautiful. I knew there would be moon shots, today. Complete cloud cover in Indiana. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: July 30, 2003 Comments: 259

Outstanding job. I was surprised how much less light this eclipse reflected than a normal moon. Usually I shoot at around 1/400 sec (ISO 80/f4.7), but for this one 15 sec was barely sufficient. And of course, at that speed the moon moved quite a distance in the photo. :-( Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: September 24, 2004 Comments: 52
