Better Eclipse Progression

So I'm new to the whole photoshop/photography thing, and they really do mean it when they say practice makes perfect. I wasn't really happy with my Super Blood Harvest Moon Progression that I posed last week, so I reworked it a little bit. I looked through the pictures I took, and picked out some better ones of each phase of the eclipse, and came up with this. Enjoy!

Super Harvest Blood Moon 2

Alright folks, these the ones I processed of last night Lunar Eclipse of the Super Harvest Moon.

Here's the first series. These are approximately 10 minutes apart right up until total eclipse.

At total eclipse, you can actually see the stars near to the moon.

Enjoy!

ISS

Space is pretty awesome. It's the perfect mix of science and art. There are a lot of people out there who have dedicated their lives to studying everything that is out of this world, and most of them will never get to experience living in the place that they study.

The people on the ISS are the lucky ones. They get to be a part of not only history, but a legacy of science. If you look into the sky, you might see a little dot flying through the heavens from time to time. If it doesn't have blinking lights (plane), a plume of fiery particles (meteor), or a big tail (comet), you've pretty much nailed it down to the ISS. You do not need a telescope to see it, and in fact can pick it up very well with the naked eye.

This means it can be caught on camera. This is my gallery of the ISS transits I've caught with my camera. Enjoy!
