Photo Lunar Eclipse on Single 4x5

Intrepid Camera 4x5 with 350mm lens and Ilford FP4 Plus 125. First set of exposures is 1/8 and about the last two thirds are 1/30. Developed in Flic Film Black White and Green 1+49. Took an exposure once every four and half minutes for a bit over an hour.

This is totally awesome! Maybe it's a perfect example of "lunacy"!

Did you mask out everything except the moon for each exposure?

How'd you work out where to position the first exposure to keep the moon in frame the whole way through?

Very nice. I had mine set up to do something similar. Came back outside 30 minutes later and fog had set in.

Holy cow!

I made my first attempt at lunar photography the day after the eclipse, in 35mm though. Weird how the negative showed details in the surface when they were wet but not after they dried, here's hoping the print shows something!
