Total Lunar Eclipse 15-16th of June, 2011

This is the first time I have tried to stich an eclipse timelapse together. I hope it's ok.

The reason that I didn't get the moon coming out of the eclipse at the end, is that the moon set for me in Australia, while it was still totally eclipsed. The next eclipse in December will be perfectly placed for me, so hopefully I can do a more complete one then.

Full view for best detail.

Images taken through an 10 inch (25cm) F/4 Newtonian Reflector Telescope on a NEQ6 PRO Goto Mount, which can track the motion of the moon through the sky.
Camera- Canon EOS 1000D with a Baader Coma Corrector.
Exposure lengths range from 1/2500th of a second on the left to 13 seconds on the right.

*first impression* This... is sheer dedication.

*quality* One part equipment, one part photographer and one part model and all have worked together in this symphony of showing the beauty of our beloved neighbouring satellite.

*Time lapse itself* It lasted up to one and a half hour, according to sources, yet to stand outside, in the cold, for such a long period of time shows love for the universe, but also for your followers. You've taken your time to create this time lapse, and you've made a splendid view.

*overall impression* Especially for all those who did not get to see such a lovely sight at night, one really ought to see this work of beauty.

Obsidian, you give me the feeling I actually was there, lying on my back and witnessing the lunar eclipse. Thank you.
