You’ve already seen plenty of eclipse shots, maybe taken some of your own, here are some of mine. The video is made of of 29 frames taken 5 minutes apart from just before the start of the partial eclipse to about the end of totality when my battery ran down. The Moon appears to rotate as my alt-az mount turned. The single frame shows some stars that came out as we went from Moon light obliterating everything to sixth magnitude stars visible. It was a cold but enjoyable evening.
I had my first opportunity to try to image the comet tonight. With a small window of opportunity before the Moon rose I traveled light and just set the DSLR on a tripod. This is a 30 second shot at ISO 6400. Maybe in a few days it will be clear again and I can use the SCT. The bright star at the top is Capella, the comet is a little lower and to the left.
Here are two images from Saturday night at the River Ridge Observatory. Both were shot with a monochrome camera using red, green, and blue filters and a 9.25″ SCT. Each color was picked from the best 50% of about 3000 frames (30 seconds of video). Stacked then aligned and combined in Photoshop. Jupiter was shot with 10 millisecond exposures while Saturn required 50 millisecond. Saturn was barely above the trees and I should have waited but frankly it is near the southern limit of its journey around the Sun and doesn’t get too high. Jupiter was just past the meridian. I may work with it some more when I have time, the raw footage looked like it would be better than this.
