Total Lunar Eclipse 15-16th of June, 2011

This is the first time I have tried to stich an eclipse timelapse together. I hope it's ok.

The reason that I didn't get the moon coming out of the eclipse at the end, is that the moon set for me in Australia, while it was still totally eclipsed. The next eclipse in December will be perfectly placed for me, so hopefully I can do a more complete one then.

Full view for best detail.

Images taken through an 10 inch (25cm) F/4 Newtonian Reflector Telescope on a NEQ6 PRO Goto Mount, which can track the motion of the moon through the sky.
Camera- Canon EOS 1000D with a Baader Coma Corrector.
Exposure lengths range from 1/2500th of a second on the left to 13 seconds on the right.
