THESE LUNAR ECLIPSE COLLAGE PHOTOS WERE DONE BY TONY OWEN.

Photos taken on December 21st, 2010 in Tony Owen's backyard in Jacksonville Beach Florida on the Winter Solstice.

Equipment used was a Takahashi TSA102 refractor with focal reducer (600mm).  Canon 40D unmodified with remote.  Astrotech Voyager Alt/Az mount.  Arranged in Pro Publisher software with a bit of artistic license.

Exposures ranged from 1/8,000 sec. for the fully illuminated moon, to approx 2-3 sec during totality.  This made tracking/guiding unnessary.  Tony began at 1:30am and shot a few frames at various exposures every 10-15 minutes until 5:00am.  All photos taken from Tony's light polluted backyard.
