Lunar Eclipse Composite

[Zak's Astrophotography]

Hi all,

I apologise for not being active for a while, I have been super busy with life duties!

This is a composite containing my pics I shot of last week's Lunar Eclipse. I had to battle the clouds constantly and it took me all of yesterday to get it to where it is now; I am very proud with how this has turned out!

I loved this eclipse even though it was short (plus my experience got ruined by clouds just after maximum eclipse) and I cannot wait for the next one to occur in November this year!

EXIF (Pre Blood Moon photos): 1/800th, f/11 and 800 ISO; EXIF (Blood Moon photos): 1 sec, f/8 and 3200 ISO. Equipment used: Canon 5D Mark IV with a Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM "C" lens attached and tracked using a SkyWatcher Star Adventurer. Images edited in Adobe Lightroom and finishing touches/composite made in Adobe Photoshop. Location: My Bortle Class 5 backyard.

Neat composite of the eclipse. Glad to see your work back on here again.

Hey Zak, it's great to have you back.

It's really cool seeing this sequence. I had sure hoped to do that with mine too, but I also had issues with clouds. I was able to capture it in all of it's phases but some were surrounded by clouds, so not sure how I could make it into a single image sequence like this.

Great work Zak!

Looks like all the hard work paid off in a very engaging composite image!
