After over 6 months of working with the data, here is my final composite of January's lunar eclipse in a 100 megapixel image. Zoom in to see the details. [OC]
The Earth's shadow allowed me to capture unique highlights, color, stars, and ominous shadows in a way ordinarily impossible. The night of the eclipse was a bit cloudy affecting the sharpness of my image, so I used a combination of shots from that night with other lunar data to create a composite that shows what I saw through my telescope as the blood moon broke through the clouds. Before compositing in the clouds, I shared a cloudless and monochrome version of this, so if it looks slightly familiar that may be why! I also posted an earlier version months ago (still a composite) before I figured out the best way to process the clouds and color.
This photo has been compressed miserably, as I could not get the original image to upload to reddit without an error message (400 megabyte PNG files tend to do that). I posted an uncompressed and wallpaper version to my website.
For more space photography, check out my instagram @cosmic_background. I link out in my bio to my website, gallery, and all of my equipment if you're curious what I use to get these images. All my images acre captured from my backyard in Sacramento, California.
