Lunar Eclipse March 3, 2007

[njnightsky]

Don't forget to snap some of the eclipse everyone.

More info here (http://njnightsky.com/nuke/html/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=672&mode=thread&order=1&thold=-1).

[calicokat]

Thanks for the reminder ;)

[JuZ]

I will if its clear :)

[Lin-z]

I have to try to find a good place to sit and wait... I guess it will be low on the horizon for us right?

[bsmith6280]

I just posted this in another thread but this news scorns us Alaskans! Just when I was getting the hang of moon shots w/ 20D + 300 f2.8 and both extenders! AHHHHHHHH I'm so mad!!! Well have fun you all :) Think of me in spirit

[Franko515]

I was just reading about this and came here to ask a couple quesions when I saw this thread ;)

Is there any special way to make these shots, or do I just shoot away?

Thanks in advance

[Lin-z]

I still can't figure out exactly what time it will happen for me... i don't want to miss it but i don't want to sit in a field all day

From the link in the first post ;)

In the USA, the eclipse will already be underway when the moon rises on Saturday evening. Observing tip: Find a place with a clear view of the eastern horizon and station yourself there at sunset. As the sun goes down behind you, a red moon will rise before your eyes.

[Reed Goodwin]

What's all the U1, U2, etc?

[plsurfer]

does anyone know what time it will be at if i live in southern california????

From my post 2 above yours( also from the link in the 1st post of this thread)

For saturday just look up the time for the sunset and watch for the moon (find a clear view of the eastern horizon)

[YosemiteJunkie]

does anyone know what time it will be at if i live in southern california????
Sunset is at 5:53pm. I'd start looking close to 5:00pm maybe a bit earlier.

[njnightsky]

Yes get out and setup for sunset. It will already be underway for all of the US.

[Reed Goodwin]

Hmmmm, where to find a good view... If only I were in the country.
Reed

[purelithium]

For those of us in the country, it will be easy, to get on top of a hill that overlooks the eastern horizon. For those of you in the City, to go the highest building you can that has a clear view of the horizon, that way you'll get the view just a few seconds before those at ground-level. And the moon over the cityscape should be an interesting shot. Have a good one guys!

[scrumpy]

.....and lets see some pics tomorrow - good luck everybody!!

[njnightsky]

thanks for info... I would be so mad if I will miss it... :)

Your welcome

[JeratBP]

so what do you think for a picture, eclipse over the city or over the ocean......ah, choices.

[dale65bama]

If you have a GPS unit, you should be able to display the time of moonrise in local time. For my home, it will be 18:27 (6:27 pm EST), but I don't think anyone here will see it without being in an airplane above the cloud deck!

Dale

[purelithium]

I HATE winter... there's a blizzard outside right now, so there's NO chance of seeing the eclipse...

[willy b]

set camera up, all ready, it has just started now,a little bit darker in the bottom left :)

This is 21:33 GMT

[AeroSmith]

Bad news: it's cloudy and raining here.

Good news: we're in a drought and need the rain.

[Mike]

Here's my first of the night:

[purelithium]

Nice shots Michael! I Love the detail, What lens(or was it a telescope?) did you use?

[philc123]

Great shots Micheal, my 350d's on the tripod in the garden! Got loads of shots dont know how many are in focus:)

[Mike]

Thanks. I used my sig 70-300 at 300mm. I've just got a few more in the can so I'll upload shortly.

[donboyfisher]

Any tips on getting it so sharp? I know my lens is poor at full zoom ( kit 70-300mm )

This is as good as i could get . . . shorter after, the clouds rolled in . . . how annoying . . .

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/donboyfisher/Camera%20Related/moon1.jpg

[purelithium]

I assume they were cropped?

[donboyfisher]

Mine is a 100% crop yes.

[Pete]

My efforts with the 100-400:-

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a294/peteghia/Lunar%20Eclipse/IMG_1597.jpg

I got caught out by longer exposures as it neared totality, didn't realise the moon moves so darned fast. Oh well, I'll probably get it right when it happens again in 18 years time...!

[Mike]

Here's one a bit wider. Just a thin sliver of moon lit up at the top.

[donboyfisher]

nice!

[flyoverfred]

here's my attempt ( i took about 25 !! 400mm hand held resting on my car !! )

[Mike]

Near totality. Not so pleased with this one though.

[Mike]

here's my attempt ( i took about 25 !! 400mm hand held resting on my car !! )

Pretty good for hand held. Well done.

[willy b]

what kinda shutter speed people using?

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/6992/redej9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

mine is all crap :(

[kato1]

I have use between 1/2 to 1 second on the images I posted in seperate post.
Canon 10D, 70-200 L f4, iso 800, benbo trecker tripod, shutter release cable.

[zmhs]

willy b I'm with you in fuzzy vision! Going to have one more try as totality ends in about 10 mins time.

[JuZ]

Full moon shots suck, here's my effort though

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a20/juz13/Moon/Eclipse.jpg

I also grabbed a shot of Saturn, I know it's small and soft, but Saturn is rather a long way away! :oops:

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a20/juz13/Saturn.jpg

[stupot]

woah juz thats dead cool! wheres saturn in relation to the moon? will post up my moon efforts when ive finished taking them;)

[willy b]

willy b I'm with you in fuzzy vision! Going to have one more try as totality ends in about 10 mins time.

yeh i have given up :( ah well

[stupot]

willy stick your camera in M, set shutter speed between 1/2 to 1 second, open up your lens as wide as it will go (use a tripod, mirror lock up, self timer) and adjust the ISO so you get a good exposure (im on iso 800 or 1600)

Well here's my efforts, first time at this type of photography.

20D, 70-200 at 200 plus 1.4x TC

ISO 200, f6.3 and 1 second exposure

Eos Kiss, sigma 70 - 200, 1.4x.

[zmhs]

Well managed to get some stuff although not perfect. But since it's the first time I have ever taken the moon I'm pleased enough.
Now how do you put the photo from your computer into the post?

[willy b]

willy stick your camera in M, set shutter speed between 1/2 to 1 second, open up your lens as wide as it will go (use a tripod, mirror lock up, self timer) and adjust the ISO so you get a good exposure (im on iso 800 or 1600)

cheer mate, that has made them better :)

[frailwit]

Pretty sad, can't see anything here as it's cloudy and rainy.

Great shots, everyone.

[stevieboy378]

This was about the best I could manage with the 200mm, tripod mounted :

http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/6546/lunareclipseut9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

1.3s @ f4, ISO400

[melita]

Juz, how did you manage that? Care to share your settings before it's too late for me to go back out and get all cold again?!

This is the best I managed. It's been run through Noise Ninja because I wasn't happy with the original.

20D. 300mm. 1.4xTC. 1.3sec. f5.6. ISO200.

Nothing but heavy cloud cover here during the eclipse folks. Thanks for sharing your captures.

[cfpackerfan]

Awesome shots everyone!
Being near the west coast of the US, we just got to see the gorgeous amber color at moonrise.

[TBAATAR]

Here is my effort.
The longest lens I had was only 18-70mm, so I had to layer all the photos together to create 1 big Moon :lol:

No telescope, that was with my Sigma 500mm and 1.4x + 2x TC's :D

[T0DD]

Here's my attempt of the full Moon. Apparently the "Lunar Eclipse" would have been as soon as the Moon was rising ( on the west coast ) .... however, our skies were covered with clouds.... until about 10:30'ish. Clouds were rolling through, nothing was 100% cloud free... but I tried.

[klibble]

I am very jealous of all of your great shots. I attempted to photograph the eclipse, so I hauled all of my gear down to the lake where the horizon is the lowest. I set up my stuff and the clouds rolled in. When the moon rose and eclipsed it was behind the clouds. So I came home and about an hour and a half later the full moon rose above the trees in my yard with no clouds. Doesn't that just figure! I'll try again next time!

Seems you lucky people in the U.K. had a great view!

Here on the eastern U.S., it was obscured by cloud cove off and on.
too much abmient light around me too, between street lighting, houses and NYC, just too much.:(

[njnightsky]

Well I started this thread hopefully I don't end it. Here is my best effort had to fight the clouds so I did not get too many shots.

This is a wonderful thread. Thanks for making my weekend. We had cloudy skies here in VA and I didn't get more than a fuzzy thing in the sky. I applaud all those that went out to shoot. :)

Jupiter didn't appear on the eastern horizon until 2 am, the moon showed up at around 7pm.

[peacock]

does anyone know the stars just around the moon

They are stars ????:confused: i thought that was the Enterprise and a Klingon bird of prey:p

Judging from todays and friday , i'd have to say i think the weather was amazingy kind to us all yesterday:)

[GAELICSTORM7]

shiato storm, yes it was mild last night, that photo was taken of me by my wife back in January,was out just over 5 hours, -4 deg c and it was coffee with a wee dram in it !, in in Leeds so it doesn't get that cold very often, but we are plagued with light pollution.

I missed the moon too. It was clouded over and snowing. Went to pizza hut instead.
I will have to try again in August, at least there is a second chance to get a shot of the moon this year.

In the Pacific Northwest it was cloudy all night. I PS'd a 1/1000th moon shot over something like a 1/60th or something. I mainly did this to show the cloud cover I was shooting through in order to try and get a full moon shot.

Wondering if the clouds formed the ring or something else. It's pretty cool looking.

The Moon is from a picture I took that had an exposure of 1/1000th. I then cut that moon out and pasted it on another picture I took that had an exposure of 1/60th. It's just a quick little photoshop, but I did it like that to show how the clouds were rolling through that night. The ring is simply the 1/60th exposure moon, it looked like a big light bulb until I covered it with a moon that had a better exposure.

There are some great shots on here that show the progress. Unfortunately for me it was nothing but clouds in Michigan (USA) so I didn't get to see a thing.

lcf they were taken using my telescope (an 80mm Megrez refractor 490mm focal length)
camera mounted at prime focus.

here's my image data reworked into it's final form and a piccy of me and my scope setup.
