Those were the best three shots. I even managed to get a few stars with the last one, so if you click to enlarge, the white spots aren't dust on your screen ;) I didn't stay to see the other side, I was frozen and tired. I also didn't manage to see any shooting stars. I imagine if I had been able to get out to the country where it is darker, I might have seen a few. Oh well, there will be more meteor showers in warmer temperatures long before we have another eclipse like this :)
Happy Solstice all!

Oh, magnificent. Excellent pic, Reb.
What an Awesome picture!!
Thanks Leah.
Thanks Ben.
EXCELLENT!! I managed to take a bunch of pictures, too.
They are all blank.
Sigh.
Thanks Sis! At least you saw it.
Amazing, isn't it? Left the kids, who had a cheap telescope out there, asking tons of questions about space.
Jealous. It rained all night.

messymimi, good for the kids. Telescopes are great things.
Mary Anne, I was worried it might be cloudy, I am glad it wasn't even though it was cold.
Fantastic, Reb! You did much better than I. I can't wait to see the film result. Beautiful!
Hilary, thanks. I can't imagine I did better than you though ;)
It was the full eclipse that had me stymied. Mine was so grainy and noisy. Yours looks so smooth and sharp. PLUS starlight... so cool. I borrowed your progressive image idea. ;)
Hilary, I usually have the grainy/noisy problem too, I think I was @ 100 ISO this time. I have to admit though the progressive idea wasn't mine, so feel free to borrow it ;)
Reb, I'm SO glad you shared this!
I stayed in bed because every night shot I have taken of the moon comes out blurry and/or grainy (usually "and"). This is such a cool photograph. How much can it be enlarged and still keep good quality?
Thanks Karen. I am glad you liked it. It can't be enlarged much beyond what the screen will show you here, the middle shot is really the only great one. I have taken the film in and hopefully with the tripod and the larger lens I will have some better photos. I won't be picking up though until mid next week though - I avoid shopping on boxing day! :)
Stopping by from Hilary's to seer your eclipse photos. They're gorgeous! Thanks-- it was totally blocked with clouds in rainy Los Angeles.
Cheers, jj
Joanna, thanks for stopping by and your kind comments.
