Description

I captured 150 10 sec subs of the full eclipse, but had difficulty with autostackkert3 getting them to all align. In the end, the image is 60 subs of moon placed in 30 stacked stretched subs of the stars

This process utlizes  the moon captured using lucky imaging and the stars using  a more standard DSO capturing technique.

I preferred the S pole of the moon being up compared to the normal orientation with the North being up. I have included both versions
