[Basil]

This was the set up. Tracker aligned to true north to track the moon for longer exposure.

Here is a picture of the lunar eclipse

That’s a great picture Basil.

after a lovely day here in Cheshire UK where we had a TR meet up at a pub the clouds moved in to spoil the moon view.

( strange as I think that the UK moon - I can’t see the US abandoned Vehicles parked up?)

I was going to photograph it myself, however, we had cloud cover.

Good shot!

Socked in here as well. Had the mirror 500mm and a 400mm glass at the ready, atmosphere refused to cooperate. 8 November may have better "seeing".

What tracker is that, Boss?

Actually we had a good bit of cloud cover too but lucked out and had the moon pop out off an on so was still able to get a few shots.
The tracker is the iOptron SkyGuider Pro In addition to tracking stars, it has special modes for tracking the sun and the moon.

Here's a version cropped in a bit.
