Fabulous shot. You can feel proud of your catch. Probably your shot of the month, not only the week!

Thanks so much for the kind words Alex. Really appreciate you taking a look and being supportive. This one still makes me smile (whether I took it or not!)

This is just a quick and dirty first try composite from my efforts the other night attempting to capture the Full Lunar Eclipse. I will refine this and do a version with a foreground over the next week or so. The weather reports weren't good, as far as cloud cover went, so I was thinking I may not bother with it. The afternoon ended up being sunny and warmish with only the odd cloud here and there. I got my gear ready just in case. Sunset was just before 6:30 and after that I was checking the sky every half hour. Just around midnight I decided I would give it a go so I made some coffee and some sandwiches and headed off. So anyway, long story short, I had to brave the cold, the wind, a heavy dew, sea spray (the sea was quite rough and the tide was coming in fast) and quite a bit of cloud just after the full eclipse. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with this first attempt.

Just realised that this is my one thousandth post as well!

Hi Richard, that is a fatastic sequence. Do you mind explaining how you took the pictures and how did you do the post processing.
