Time lapse of the lunar eclipse on December 10, 2011 as seen from Southern California. I am not sure what caused the flickering during the process. I believe the camera was still using auto exposure somehow, or my SD card encountered a buffer problem. The intermittent blurring was caused by passing high-altitude clouds.

***UPDATE***
Thanks to the comment made by user, LearnTimeLapse, I have determined the flickering was caused by aperture deviation, as a result of using an f-stop other than wide open. I will be uploading a video detailing this flaw, and how to avoid it!
