sooooo in the week of the 27th, we had a full lunar eclipse that was viewed by the entire northern hemisphere.
So i went out and took pictures. Unfortunately, i couldn't take pictures in equidistant time frames, because i had homework to do and i was also watching the Red Sox win the World Series.
So, i took about 50 pictures, and this is a homage collage that i did. I tried a bunch of layouts, and i like this one the best.
I did not use a telescope for this.
I used a camera with a 300mm lens. Since the camera is digital, it translates to a 450mm lens in the 35mm system (because the image sensor of digital is smaller than a 35mm negative)
I set up the tripod, and then used a remote cable release so that my finger pressing on the shutter didnt move the lens. Even with that, a lot of pictures were blurred or had a ghost image. These are the best of the bunch.
Make sure to leave a thought or two
EDIT: Print available and second moon on top row fixed, thanks to * eclectic-fusion for pointing it out. I always miss out some mundane detail

i didnt have homework that night i remember just turning up at my friends house and saying "dude- look at the moon"
we stayed up proper late
Awesome Picture.
It was viewed by the southern hemisphere too!! :shakesfist: At a much better time than you american suckers got it
Still, I read on some website that it was pretty much exclusive for the northern hemisphere. Glad you also got to see it

Okay, assuming that you do ask (being that now you're cleared to ask), I used the 300mm end of a telephoto lens (canon 70-300)
Awesome collection there. Can't believe I missed it....

I have to ask though, the little moons at the bottom - are they all original pictures or is there a bit of photoshop rotation going on?
"hmmmm what can we do so that we dont have to freeze our asses off with an eclipse? AH! A flip option!"
i really like how you put this together. just great great work.
and i'll definately be looking through the rest of what seems to be a positively amazing gallery here. awesome job!
