This was taken from a dark site in Vermont (at least Bortle 3) and it was an incredible experience. I’ve seen and imaged other total lunar eclipses but being in a dark site was a completely different experience. We chased the eclipse to get away from the clouds and the 5 hour round trip was worth it.
Equipment used:
* Askar 71F
* Canon T5i
* SkyWatcher AZ-GTi (alt-az mode)
* Capture automated with LETnC (check my video here on how to use this software: https://youtu.be/XqJY2nz_VpI)
* 30 images stacked ranging from 1/2s to 8s exposurs at ISO400
* Star stack done in PixInsight and Moon stack done in Photoshop using the smart object mean stacking method (similar to my solar eclipse processing)
* Extracted the stars from PI and composited in Photoshop
I’m currently working on a timelapse that will be posted on my channel shortly: [https://www.youtube.com/Naztronomy](https://www.youtube.com/Naztronomy)
And also check out my revamped website: [https://www.Naztronomy.com](https://www.Naztronomy.com) – still working on uploading everything.

Love this, great job. Is the fully eclipsed moon still too bright to expose for the stars?
