August’s Lunar Eclipse.
I finally finished editing all the photos needed to produce this image, and I’ve finally created the lunar eclipse photo I’ve wanted for years. Each attempt would come up short for one reason or another, but this one took. I was even able to obtain a much-desired Star tracker from the wonderful people over at National Camera Exchange (shout out to Hussain) just two days before taking this. Each phase of the Moon is a stack of nine tracked images (27 for the peak eclipse image in the middle). I had a blast playing with my new toy and can’t wait for more opportunities to use it!
