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

seriously, BEAUTIFUL!
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

you shoulda hid =Alex37's comment
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!
