On an impulse while laying in bed, I decided that I couldn&#8217;t miss the 2026 Lunar Eclipse without something to show for it. Eclipses are cool enough to warrant losing the sleep but this time I decided to try my hand at learning a workflow for capturing and stitching the images together. My telescope is not actuated so I know that I am leaving resolution on the table- but the two photos below show my attempt to stitch together two moments during the early morning eclipse: 1) At the start of the eclipse (roughly 3 AM my time) when the shadow of the earth just started to catch the moon and 2) later when the entire moon was eclipsed. I clearly have some learning to do when it comes to dialing in the exposure and synchronization but I&#8217;m proud of the result nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1018\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dtwprojects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Blood_moon__001107__2026-03-03T04-40-32__data_stitch-1018x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dtwprojects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Blood_moon__001107__2026-03-03T04-40-32__data_stitch-1018x1024.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/dtwprojects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Blood_moon__001107__2026-03-03T04-40-32__data_stitch-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/dtwprojects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Blood_moon__001107__2026-03-03T04-40-32__data_stitch-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dtwprojects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Blood_moon__001107__2026-03-03T04-40-32__data_stitch-768x773.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dtwprojects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Blood_moon__001107__2026-03-03T04-40-32__data_stitch-1527x1536.jpg 1527w, https:\/\/dtwprojects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Blood_moon__001107__2026-03-03T04-40-32__data_stitch-2036x2048.jpg 2036w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lunar Eclipse Blood Moon from March 3, 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dtwprojects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Bloodmoon_snapshot__000000__2026-03-03T03-03-50__data_stitch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Start of the lunar eclipse March 3, 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lunar Eclipse March 2026 I have a roughly 8&#8243; Dobsonian telescope that I will occasionally try to capture significant celestial events.
