The three stages of an eclipse that a camera can measure and take photos from 51 shots.
2 Moon rise shot
4 Normal moon starting to eclipse
4Change from bright moon to Eclipsed moon
5 Final stage the colour of the total Eclipse

For those of a technical mind this is made up of 24 shots to get this one photo.

Background is part of the Milky Way Bow to provide a realistic back ground.
The Moons are the size of the shot from the 600mm lens.
Enjoy. Eclipse January 31 st 2018

PIP is from Eclipse 28/7/2018 between clouds

Steve Paxton replied to Ko Hummel:

As i said it was hard to put them together when i came down to it so it was lucky to start with a big background . in part why i also did the bow to get the background for this shot. your turn next .

Well Steve, not only did you manage a full eclipse journey but in what style! Your planning and night out was certainly worth it. A compilation here to be proud off. Great to see all these stages and the background suits to a tee. Very Big Star, Herb

Steve Paxton replied to Herb Riddle:

Herb its good to get the photos but its always good to get help and in this case i was happy to get the help and take notes. Pieter was one of my best finds a true night owl and like me keen as mustard with as whole different field of knowledge as well put together a good team.
This is only 2/3 of the eclipse as it was far too expensive on old batteries so i had to leave the last part but i am happy with just these two stages.

many thanks my friend.
