Lunar Eclipse Phase U3 HDR

Description

A first try at stacking two exposures, one for the shadow and one for the bright portion.  It looks like my "bright portion" exposures were still a little too bright so it was hard to get detail in that section.  I'll try again with some other shots now that I have Photomatix.  I kinda like the "glow on the rim of the bright portion but it doesn't quite look right.

Canon T3i, Orion Skyview Pro 127 (Exposures of 1/5s and 3.2s stacked in Photomatix)

I saw both lunar eclipses this year. The January eclipse set while the moon was still only partially eclipsed, and the July eclipse was plagued by cloud cover. If the weather cooperates this coming January, I'll try my own hand at doing this.
