I don't normally like stacked pics of astronomical stuff (because it's not what you'll see in reality) but this is excellent, I like that's its zoomed way out and giving a more grand perspective. Well done mate

This is a stacked image of comprised of 51 photos of the lunar eclipse on 2022-11-08 CST. The first image was taken at 3:47 am and the final moon image was taken at 6:31 am. Patchy clouds obscured part of the tail end of the eclipse, but conditions were otherwise perfect. By the time the moon set on the horizon here, it was nearly out of Earth's umbra. Along with the moon's trajectory, some surrounding star trails can also be seen.

So the other stars in the imaged are stacked too, but the clouds arent. How did you get that? Or was it just the last frame was light enough for sky and clouds

Great question. There is a final frame used to brighten the overall image.

Before I read the title I thought SpaceX was just really busy.
