    Really nice, that looks like it would be a great poster.
    I was going to try and get shots, but it was to cloudy.

    Cool shot(s) DD. I snapped a few quick ones while I was headed out to work that night, but I haven't had a chance to look at them.

    If you don't mind, cold you send me a hi-res copy of your posted pic?

    Thanks,

    That's incredible. :yesnod: I only have a point-and-shoot camera, so it won't so much as focus on the moon.

    Re: Lunar eclipse

    Very cool indeed. And very creative!

    It would be neat to see it as a linear progression (as one long strip) across a whole wall.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Talking Re: Lunar eclipse

    DirtDevil, great photos :thumbsup: . I tried to get some as well, but forgot that when it is -5C or so, your batteries lose power quickly even though I have two of them in a battery grip, so I missed the last half hour or so before totality, but it was a learning process and I do have at least a few during the onset of the eclipse that I like, and there will be another one in a couple of years so I have time to develop a better process. :idea:

    Cheers,

    WesternGuy

    Re: Lunar eclipse

    Great job at capturing and putting together these images. btw, unless you know the person very well, I would not send anyone a hgh res pic. It could only be used to make prints and possibly sell.
    Just my caution
