Thanks everyone....

Since this is the last Lunar eclipse for about 3 years, I really did want do something. Taking the pictures was fairly straight forward- except every couple of minutes I had to re-center. The hard part was crop & center all 166 frames so that the image stays centered. It took me a couple of days of work, but turned out to be worth the effort.

Roger,

For future reference, there's a free program called PIPP that will center and crop all of your individual frames for you.
There may be some degree of image rotation, however, if you did not track on an equatorial mount.

Steve, what do you see as the advantage of PIPP over Astrometrica?
