NOTES: When I took this photo, the temperature was down to 6F. Used a still tripod and went for a wide-field, time lapse view of this eclipse. I began the image run at about 5:40AM and took the last image after the moon set. Very challenging to try to get the exposures right as the sky & earth brightened and the moon dimmed. Haven’t looked at many of the images yet. Don’t know if my time-lapse will work out. If not, I do have quite a few decent shots of a tiny moon.Set up the camera in portrait orientation with the first image showing the moon in the upper left corner. Never moved the camera. This image is the bottom 1/3 or so of the whole frame. Reconstructed, color balance, initial stretch & convert to TIFF in Nebulosity. Slight tweaks & converted to JPEG in PS. |
