Hi All,

Great Eclipse tonight!

I also got lucky and recorded a jet flying thru the near total eclipsed moon!

These were done using a 80mm f3 refractor and my Stellacam Ex at various shutter
speeds, and a red eyepiece filter.
The images were recorded at the telescope's prime focus to a JVC digital
camcorder and later captured indoors to a computer using a 'Snappy'.
Then used AstroStack software to combine images, apply unsharp mask, adjust
brightness/contrast. Used Adobe PhotoDeluxe to create jpgs and gifs.
Used UnFreez to create the animation from the gif images.
