Partial Lunar Eclipse from Western Australia

[Aussie Dave]

Around midnight I captued the 100% illuminated moon with a Saxon 10" Newtonian reflector and Sony a5000.

Then from about 3am I started on the partial lunar eclipse with a Sigma 70-300mm f/4 - 5.6 zoom lens. I tried a different exposure technique setting on the a5000 called High Dynamic Range with Dynamic Range Optimizer which didn't work out so well. The moon was much lower in the sky and I should've tested these settings before hand but quite please I got what I did. I almost deleted all the eclipse photos as they didn't look that great at full res but it was a last minute decision to put a 4 shot sequence in the corners of the full moon shot.

PIPP used to pre-process 24 full moon photos, AutoStakkert 3 to align and stack, wavelets in RegiStax 6, edited in PaintDotNet with a final tweak in Fitswork.

Nicely done Dave, confuses us up here seeing it "upside down"
