Description

This is what the deep sky looked like behind the eclipsed moon. This is the Rho Ophiuchi constellation, with the tip of the Blue horsehead nebula just visible to the left of the moon

This is a blend of a single short exposure for the moon and then several 30 second exposures taken during the 10-odd minutes of totality (and integrated for noise reduction in AstroPixelProcessor for the deep sky.) The moon location and size is correct as of 9:37pm

I used my Canon 6D and Sigma 120-300mm F/2.8 Sports lens at 140mm on my Star Adventurer Mount.
