Hi all My attempts at photographing last night's eclipse seem to have struck similar problems to others - noisy images that, in my case, looked abysmal at full totality.
The only answer was to reduce the size of the images and make a composite. All told I took about 50 photos from start to finish of the eclipse - the composite is made up of 20. I used a Tamron SP 300 mm lens plus 2x converter at shot at ISO 800 to try to keep movement of the moon during the exposures to a minimum. The result is at: http://www.blognow.com.au/PESO/71394/Moon_Eclipse_Composite.html Comments, as always, welcome.
