If I am not mistaken by the photographer's explanation in the composed from link, there were 68 images of the eclipse, and 3 images of the foreground which were combined and edited to remove a cyclist and pedestrian. I suppose the foreground wasn't in at least 65 of the images.
Indeed. The foreground and pre-dawn sky are mainly from the last image, overlayed with the two previous images to remove the washed out "ghosts" of a cyclist/pedestrian. All the moons were layered in Photoshop's "lighten" mode (masked). I couldn't simply use "lighten" mode (or e.g. StarStax) for the complete images, as my tripod wasn't heavy/stable enough to allow for pixel level acuracy over the course of 3h.
Camera: Canon EOS 5D MkII
Lens: EF 17-40mm f/4L @ 29mm
Single exposures: M 2s, f/11, ISO 800
plus a bit of tweaking in LR
The exposure was matched for the totally eclipsed moon, luckily this didn't blew out the foreground. The street lights of course are blown out and created some not so nice reflections/stray light beams.
