Still have some photos to go through, but I liked these.   I'm always blown away by the stars around the moon when it's eclipsed!  Unfortunately, I took the iPhone photos hand-held so there's a bit of shake from me and from the wind.  I thought they were cool, though.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's photos!

Hi Greg, nice.  Good to see you saw and imaged it.  I tried to include the Pleiades in the with my 75-300mm zoom but couldn't get them in at 75mm.  My wife took some with her iPhone from inside our living that came out decently.

Here are a few of mine--

Very nice, Paul!  Love those large moon shots!  I was using my 60mm AT60 with a 2x PowerMate (720mm fL) and a Canon SL3.    Terrific job.

The Pleiades looked so pretty right above the moon.  I think when the stars are visible around the moon is my favorite time.  It's really a gorgeous sky -- but very tough to capture that in a camera.

Greg

Great images guys.. I took a few at overlook park and will post later.  The wild was howling and it was cold!    When I got home, I noticed I could see the eclipse over the farm from our street.  I couldn't see it from my house, but I could walk across the street and set up and see it fine.   This is the second time I'm surprised by how low to the horizon I can see, first was with the comet.   Is this a light bending thing for items near the horizon?

Great shots. I've shared the thread and links to a couple of images with my spooky folks over on a discord for the Nightmare Vermont haunted house production group. Beware the werewolves! 😋 

I can only offer a _before_ picture as I tested out setting up the Canon Rebel with a 300mm lens at approximately midnight.  Thought better of climbing out of bed again when I checked the clock 4 hours later.
