Details:
To see and shoot this total eclipse of the Hunter's Moon I had to chase clear skies, seeking out what looked like the only clear area for hundreds of miles around, requiring a 3-hour drive to the south of me in Alberta, to near the Canada-US border, at Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park. But skies remained mostly clear for all of totality with only some light haze adding the glow around the eclipsed Moon. This is a 15-second exposure at ISO 400 with a Canon 60Da, shooting through an 80mm apo refractor at f/6 and on an equatorial mount tracking the sky at the lunar rate. It shows lots of stars, with the brightest being greenish Uranus at the 8 o'clock position left of the Moon, itself in opposition and at a remarkably close conjunction with the Moon at eclipse time.
