Well done Jonathan, it's a lot redder than the straightforward eclipse I did in 2015. I had 1000mm ready but there was just cloud. :needsahug:

Look good JK, I have selected a set, just not had time to process and post them.
o.O

Have been very tired, will try tonight.

Noise is certainly an issue with the moon, I have had to dump the first group, partly noise and partly poor focus.

This is a screen grab from a 'better' early NEF, straight out of the camera. Pretty grotty, ISO 3200.

300mm, 1/100sec at f/2.8, 100% crop.

This is the closest exposure to maximum eclipse according to time.

I had the ISO far too high, would have been better to go with a rather longer exposure I think. Later on I did reduce the ISO and the results are much better.

I want to create a collage with a series of exposures throughout the series. I will attempt to cobble something together in Ps with layers. I think one image is a bit boring, once you have seen one moon shot they are pretty well all the same, need to do something different.

I have tried to include the landscape but using the Fisheye the moon is a mere dot.

All my images are from my Fuji XT3, 100-400mm lens at 1/60th (approx), f5.6 at ISO3200.
I did do a bit of WB adjustment and sharpening but nothing more than that.
Resized in Lightroom for sRGB and 2048pixels long edge.

According to my exif metadata, the settings I used for the eclipse back in 2015 were ....1/2sec @5.6 and 1250 iso using the D750 and the Sigma 500mm lens. This explains the slightly softer image of the eclipsed moon compared to the full light moon taken earlier at faster settings.

Well I finally caught up, this is my series of images of the Blood Moon.

This is a nice or crappy photo, depending on your opinion! I took this just as the eclipse beginning.



This a series of the build up to the full eclipse, D800 with Nikkor ai 300mm f/2.8 at 2.8 ISO 3200, I now realise I was really too high with the ISO which has resulted in rather noisy images.



This composite is after the eclipse, each exposure was at three minute intervals.



This is with the exposure adjusted for the bright parts of the moon.



After the eclipse I took some landscapes by moonlight, which was diffused by cloud which swept in almost unnoticed as the eclipse finished. Lens used 16mm f/2.8 fisheye.





Finally, snow capped Ulpha Fell across Dunnerdale.
