Here's a delayed submission from eastern Connecticut. Really needed the 40 mm eyepiece to fit the whole moon into the view with the ETX125. Focused on infinity with the camera, then manually focussed the scope. Picked the better exposure times.....Suggestions always welcomed

I'm sure you are swamped with eclipse photos but I thought I'd send a good compilation for the site. Feel free to post it if you like it. November 8, 2003 from Richmond Hill, Ontario (just north of Toronto). ETX90EC UHTC. Canon A70 camera using Scopetronix Digi-T and MaxView 40.

Shots of 11/08 lunar eclipse as seen from french Guyana. 300 mm objective piggybacked on ETX 125 + webcam. Very nice view throught the clouds.

This is a time-lapse I assembled from frames taken every 15 minutes during Saturday's lunar eclipse. Except for the last image, the photos were taken at f/16, 1/125, ISO 200. The last image was taken at f/16, 1 second, ISO 200. Camera was a Canon Digital Rebel and the lens was 85mm focal length (effective 136mm). The position of the moon in each successive frame is only an approximation -- the moon moves about 7.5 times its own diameter in 15 minutes, but I would not have been able to show all nine images if I had spaced them that far apart. 6:15 PM EST through 8:15 PM on 11/08/2003.

Just wanted to send you a couple of photos I took with my Pentax Optio 550. No enhancements to the photos, just as they came out of the camera. Used 5X power set on auto. Thanks again for a great site!

We had clear skies throughout the whole eclipse, but I decided to go to bed at the end of the total phase at 02:31 local time in Germany. The color of the eclipsed moon was not dark-red as we just 'touched' totality. My wife said it's like a 'peach'. The stars around the eclipsed moon could nicely be seen. Please choose which photo you want to post.

This is my impression of the total eclipe last saturday. I used a canon G2 connected on a 40mm Eyepiece with a scopetronix EZ-Pix canera holder on my ETX125. I got some more info on my ETX site. members.home.nl/damhof/astro/ Jan Damhof The Netherlands

Ist a collage of all phases from Start to End. In detail you will also see the eclipse of star HIP13509 during totality. All the best to you. Feel free to use this images on your ETX page.

Last night Lunar Eclipse was a good chance to show again the capabilities of the ETX. So i took many images of the event with the help my ETX125. As there was also during totality an eclipse of the 7.7 Mag Star HIP13509 this was also a good chance to capture a star gliding behind the moon during "Fullmoon". For those who want to see the report maybe they have a look at my homepage: www.werbeagentur.org/oldwexi/images/MOFI%2020031109.htm By the way my ETX Autostar (already many years old) has problems with accepting the pressure of the keys. I have to press the buttons with all my power to get contact. This problem has increased over the years and with usage. Do you know a way to improve the Autostar keyboard so that it can be used without using a pressure of kilos!?? All the Best to You and thanks for running the worlwide best ETX homepage! It would be again a honour for me if you would place my images on your homepage! Best Regards - ALOHA - Mit freundlichen Gren Mike here: See the Cleaning info on the Autostar Information page; that might help.

Here's some shots of last nights lunar eclipse. I missed most of it but captured a few nice ones near the end of the eclipse. ETX90 with 32mm lens and Nikon Coolpix 995. Naples, Fl.

No doubt you are getting lots of these images, but here are a few from Peterborough, Ontario. It was a perfect evening. Cold (-11 degrees C), but no wind and clear skies. The attached were taken with an ETX 90 Meade telescope and a Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera.
