I am a tad late to the lunar eclipse party, but here is my go at it.


This was taken as the penumbra of the earth hit the full moon at 02:11 and spans over two and a half hours to the last shot which was captured at 04:47.


The frames where taken 105 seconds apart until it slipped behind my neighbors roof.


48 frames making up 134 megapixels...


Nikon D800, Nikkor 300mm, f/5.6, ISO 100 - 1600. Sky-Watcher EQ6 Pro mount.

Hope you enjoy.

It's very graceful and most beautiful, Johannes!

Baie dankie :) (Thanks a lot) 

Nice idea to present them as a Golden Spiral (or perhaps a Fibonnaci Spiral -- I'd not be able to tell the difference in this case) :)

James

Its seems to be both :D

They're not quite the same.  The Fibonacci Spiral is an approximation of the Golden Spiral.  It's not very far out, and much easier to construct because it just involves drawing quarter circles.

James

Ah, well I used the Golden ratio(spiral) to construct this composite and then afterwards removed that layer.

This ate up all my RAM, 25.7GB in total for PS...
