Then de-rotated in WinJupos plus final wavelets and levels.
Shot with a Canon t1i on a 190mm Skywatcher Maksutov Newtonian telescope using an Antares 1.6x 2" barlow.
I had the telescope setup in a small park next to the Fraser River. Over 3 hours I had about a dozen people stop by to chat and look at the moon, most of them had come out specifically to see the super moon and were excited to find a telescope waiting for them :)
Despite all the media hype, the moon passes closest to us once per month. The moon is only just a little closer and a little brighter than usual this time around. The numbers quoted in the media compared the brightness and size of the 'super' moon with how the moon looks 2 weeks later at it's furthest point from earth. Yipee 'Super' journalists.
Processed with just a bit of stretching, contrast etc. I took many exposures for stacking of this view at some point.

Finally managed to get out last Saturday 28/12/13in the back garden to do some observing and then some imaging.
This is 30x60sec lights and 11x60sec darks.using my ED80 on an EQ3 GOTO mount.
Taken through a Skywatcher 130 with a 2x Barlow lens. I had to composite 2 shots as this was a little too much with a crop frame sensor and the focuser does not have enough back focus for direct connection
Image obtained in a light polluted suburban garden in Widnes, Cheshire, England, using a second hand Skywatcher 130/900 telescope, a cheap webcam, and some free software obtained from the internet.
A mosaic of 8 stacked images were stitched together to produce the above.

I made a solar filter for my SkyWatcher 900mm scope, using a Baader Planetarium film and then attached my Canon 550D.
During the eclipse it was cloudy, and we couldn't see anything, but the sun started to burn through it towards the end. I started trying to take photos, but could see nothing but black, so it took a while to find usable settings.
Once I discovered I could take photos that weren't completely one shade I started trying to line the scope up to actually find the sun. This took ages, but the sequence of photos here show what happened when I finally got it.
I'd missed almost the entire thing, but the moon was still taking a tiny bite out of the edge, so I didn't cry.
I could not focus the camera, sadly. It only adjusts so far and that proved not to be far enough. I'm not sure if that means astrophotography is out for me or if I can maybe change some cheap parts to improve it.
It's also not clear how much the home made filter affects this. Despite my best efforts, the solar film did end up a bit warped and wrinkly!
