Thanks, Mary!
The sequence of images run from 8:28pm, 9:08, 9:28, 9:36, 9:50 and 10:12pm in the image I posted lastnight. I felt the similarity of the 9:28 to 9:36 didn't add to the impact of the image and also, I've always preferred odd numbers in images unless it dealt with people. By changing to five images the time line became, more even too... 20 min's., 20 min., 22 min's, and 22 minutes. I feel, dropping the one done at 9:36 did the trick, plus as you suggested a little more room helped.
Thanks again!
Dwight

Hi Dwight. I do like this one better. Our nearest celestial neighbour has more room to move. Having the one less immage does not at all detract from your sequence. For a second, I wondered why you didn't present them in a true diagonal line. Then, I quickly realized that would definately be too 'boxy' or whatever the right word is. The way you have it is more attention getting and enhances the 'floatimg' effect.

Hello Pal, it was pretty cloudy here to, but me being a patient man (some would say hardheaded, yup, she just said it) I stayed with it most of the evening. Nice weather, except for the one mosquito that visited. lol
Take care, regards, Dwight

Harry, Thank you, Sir! You and Mary hit the nail on the head with the suggestion of giving a bit more space. I only post images at 72 dpi on any web sites and all my files have my copyright info imbedded, but to a thief it may only be a small bump in the road. Take a look at the image I attached to Mary's response and if you would let me know your thoughts. I value your opion!
Regards, Dwight

Mary, Thank you my friend, for your wonderful input! I have done another one of this series with one less image in it so it is not so busy and I also give it more room so as not to crowd so much. Very good points, and again, I always appreciate your comments.
It was very cloudy here also and I worked through the little holes in the clouds with much patience that night. I pretty much was able to get most of the event except perhaps the last twenty minutes, due to the cloud cover going solid.
I got to watch the Space Station pass over a little after 7:00pm and it was beautiful.
Regards always, Dwight

Excellent shots and presentation, also agree with Mary little to tight maybe the inner frame, if you ever decide to sell to the galleries many of them will wand a contract that your works are pure never post on free sites! Great photography!
Take care!

We, fortunately had clear skies for he eclipse, also. It was horribly cold, about -28 with wind chill, but better cold than cloudy. I didn't manage to get any decent shots. You have a great sequence and presentation here. For some reason, I do find myself wishing there was a little more room om each side as the Moon looks like it is crowding the edges a bit. That, however, is a minor point. You have a wonderful display to remember the night's event.
(It was neat earlier that night to watch the soon to be blown up satellite pass over.)
