Detailed Lunar Eclipse Photos Using iPhone Camera in Video Mode

Using the default iPhone camera in video mode, and a DIY digiscoping mount, I was able to take short video clips of the moon during the lunar eclipse on October 8, 2014. I then converted the video to AVI and stacked the frames in Registax to reduce the noise and bring out the details.
