A composite created with the Sony 100-400 GM with the 1.4x teleconverter on an A7RII. This event had been marked on my calendar for a while and I did not want to miss it. Weather reports all over California for the entire week leading up to last night were calling for partly cloudy skies which created a tiny bit of a restless feeling. The goal for the photo was to do something that would enhance the composition of the moon instead of just having it alone in a dark sky. I wanted to put a human in front of it, however during the eclipse the moon was too high and too small to accomplish this, so I used the telephoto at 560mm to capture two separate photos: one of the moon and one of the stars. Since the moon is moving so fast (3,683km/hr) I decided it would be neat to emphasize that with star trails. The jitteriness of the trails was a result of shooting in in a desert with 25mph gusts. Here are the stats for both shots: Moon: ISO 2000 | 560mm | f/8.0 | 1/3s Stars: ISO 2000 | 560mm | f/8.0 | 92s
