Hello forum, hello Gunther,
i just read your blog about the total lunar eclipse. Nice results!
I myself as a time lapse freak had to capture this event also, but i a lot of troubles accured doing this.
The serious moisture was the biggest problem, all my lenses get foggy after a while. It was so wet at 04:00, it was like a monsoon!
Unfortunately i have no dew-heater. I will get some...
Next problem was my eMotimo. I have the "Google Skymap-App" on my smartphone, but it totaly screwed up! It's not precise enough, so i programed the eMotimo wrong and it moved too fast. You mentioned the "Astro Tracker" in your blog. Can you program this device so it can follow astro events exactly? It seems so, regarding to your video.
And last but not least the final problem, ok, it's more my purse's problem, my closest lens is only 140mm, but i wished i could get closer.
Anyway, besides the problems, i was able to capture this short video, with the help of LRTimelapse:

Best regards,
