I'll be shooting this weekend's lunar eclipse using a few different set-ups and I can't quite figure out one part of my workflow.
In my final time lapse, I'd like the moon's position to remain static in the center of the shot while the eclipse occurs.
One of my cameras will be mounted on a telescope, essentially a 1400mm prime. The telescope will track the moon, so framing in between photos shouldn't be far off, but I anticipate having to do a little bit of alignment correction. I'll have another camera at about 400mm which I'll have to manually reframe (I anticipate 4-5 tripod resets) and align in post.
This old thread describes using the crop keyframes as a way to align the several hundred images I'll have: http://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-usin...67#pid4667
Can anyone provide more detail on that alignment workflow? The moon is big and round, I feel like alignment shouldn't be that difficult, but I'd really rather not do this many images manually.
Photoshop auto-alignment didn't work at all in my test shoot. I have access to AE CS6 if this is something that warp stabilizer could fix as well.
