Technical Notes: This eclipse sequence was taken via a script using ImagesPlus, enabling me to spend the entire period of
totality obseving. The exposures were combined into a 32-bit HDR image in Photomatix.
The resulting image was processed in Photoshop CS5. The image was sharpened using
a layer created by subtracting a Radial Blur from the original image. A slightly enlarged
image of the lunar disk was pasted into the center to obscure artifacts created by lunar
motion during the sequence of exposures.
