Wow been away too long. Health issues with me and my wife have kept me away,  but all is well and back at it.

Tuesday the 15th saw a lunar eclipse one of 4 over the next two years make an apperance here in the midwest. I got up at 2 am and got off several shots before sleep called me back to bed.

I shot these with a 300mm lens at ISO 2000. Exposure was 1/6 of a second at 5.6. The star in the lower corner is Sirius. I took a photograph every 15 minutes over the hour I was out.After uploading them and tweaking them in Adobe Lightroom I ported them over to Adobe Photoshop where I stacked them for the final image.

Here's the last of the photographs.

 It was mighty chilly out that morning (28F) but well worth getting up to see one of natures wonders.
