Eclipse timelapse
A wide-angle timelapse of the total lunar eclipse starting late September 27 and ending early on the 28th as seen from my front yard. The beginning is foggy because I didn't think to put the lens outside in advance to warm up. The ending is foggy, too, because of the changing conditions. I altered the exposure during the sequence to better see the totally eclipsed moon, and again to not terribly over-expose the moon after the eclipse.
I used Magic Lantern on my Canon Rebel T1i to get the pictures. I set its intervalometer (better than any Canon has made) to take pictures at 40 second intervals, and further configured it to take 3 exposure bracketed images. I wrote a Python script to use the interval between images to discern the groups of bracketed exposures, use enblend to combine them, and give the output a name that made it easy to find the images and sort them into the correct order. I used ffmpeg to create the video from the resulting 369 blended images.
