It was a fantastic eclipse 🙂 Details

First preview from the Lunar Eclipse 2018. 22 images stacked (each 4s, at 560mm). I did more than 1000 images… so I have a lot to do this weekend 😉 Details

Faint clouds moved in front of the moon and it looked very interesting. So I shooted a series of pictures. One good image of 21 is the result 😉 Details

Again the Moon at 560mm. Stacked in Fitswork, processed in PixInsight. Canon EOS70Da, Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 @ 560mm f/14 (Kenko 1.4x converter), 18 x 1/500s, f/14, ISO400 Astrobin This time the result has much more sharpness than the previous one. Manually focusing is better 😉 Previous shot September 17, 2016:  

Today it was possible to catch the Moon and Jupiter on one image with 400mm focal length. EOS 100D EF 400mm f/5.6L @ f/11 1/100s ISO800 Details

Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L @ 560mm (Kenko 1.4x converter) f/10 13 x 1/800s ISO320

First test with the EF 400mm f/5.6L and Kenko 1.4x Converter. 560mm, f/11, 1/640s, ISO500

So, my investment in a solar filter was it worth 🙂 Details   Next Mercury Transit (partial) 11. November 2019 – 12:34h UTC
