Ok, this thread is officially awesome ! So many great shots, it's inspiring.
I've finally had some time to get through all my shots and play with PS a bit, so here is the obligatory composite.

Edit: arg, ugly colors in the thumbnail ... better include it inline

Bloodred moon "and" skyline of Amsterdam at night

I really like this picture. Well done, Lesmen27.

Quite cloudy here in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
Clouds made for some great color for the Super Moon
Processed in On One - ISO 100 2 sec f29 Canon 5D MKII Sigma 120 -400 @229

 

[lol]

Same shot as my previous post, but I'm finally installing more software on my new PC build, so here it is with some wavelets via Registax 5 and a bit of tinkering in Photoshop Elements.

I fought cloudiness here, but got this atmospheric shot in between cloud patches. I used two exposures - one for the bright side of the mood, one for the eclipsed side.

Canon 6D + 70-300L

As seen from the Boston area through a 1200mm lens, at the time of maximum eclipse.

"Blood Moon"

EOS 1D X, EF 600mm f/4L IS II + EF 2x III Extender, 0.5 s, f/8, ISO 6400

That's some serious reach. Nice!

This was taken near the end of it all. EOS M/70-200/2.8II/2xTCIII. Heavily cropped.

Nice clarity, particularly for heavy cropping.

The eclipse from start to finish over Quebec City:

Great shot. Lucky you to have clear skies. Quebec City is one of my favorite places...anywhere.

I get a similar reach with my 400mm f2.8 LIS, a 2x and a 1.4x Which is one of the reasons I love my 400' so much...it's very versatile.

From near the end of the event - our clouds didn't clear out until very late.

1600 mm (800 and 2x), 1/30 @ f11, ISO 100

Ended up taking two days over this, partly due to lack of sleep on the night, and partly because I ended up doing stacks for each phase of the moon.

Upper row 2000mm, ISO 3200-4000, f/20. Lower row 1000mm, ISO 20000, f/10. Tripod, Live View manual focus, some light cloud. Graded and preprocessed in Lightroom, stacked in Gimp, composite assembled in Affinity Photo. Never again!

Thanks, Dustin. I was also suprised at how clean the shot was for the little EOS M. Don't know the exact percentage I actually cropped away. But I would guess that it is easily about 60-70% gone.

I can imagine it was a lot of work, but this is an impressive result.

I am rather impressed by the pictures here in the thread, because I found it *extremely hard* to get close to a good focus, because the moon was so dark.

5D3, 300/2.8L + 2xTC, ISO 1600, f/5.6, 2sec. Focus was done manually in live view with the 10x magnification (like many other described). Picture taken at 04:50 local time here in Denmark. I set my alarm for 04:00 got up, shot for about an hour and then headed back to sleep again.

For once Glasgow had a cloudless sky!
Like others found it really hard to get focus. This is from 4 to 4 20ish
300mm on a 7D1 was a bit of a challenge really had to chase a descent exposure compromise!
