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.
