So, anyone get any decent pix of the eclipse tonight?

Beard Not of the eclipse per se, but I did take this of my house out in the full moonlight just an hour ago, since it was so bright. The red colors in the windows is from little LED nightlights plugged in all over the house. http://i15.tinypic.com/344pkt3.jpg Dean 30s, Nikon 17-55mm @ 20mm, D2Hs, ISO 320. |

I was hoping to get something like that, showing the reddish tint but the cloud cover was too dense. I assume that those stars were stars and not hot pixels. g I did take several shots some hours later, but kept a higher 200 ISO from the earlier attempt that didn't pan out (no tripod, long story). Even with a fast shutter speed (1/2000 sec.) the results were pretty poor so I returned for a tripod and the results were *much* better, although as with your shot, not the best focus. Or maybe the focus was ok, but the missing detail was the result of less than stellar (p.a.) local atmospheric conditions. I uploaded it, but I'm going to have to look for another host. Webshots makes the shots more difficult to download than when I visited them last year, and while it shows some of the EXIF data, this shot was 70kb when uploaded, but was reduced to 24kb when downloaded, and had its EXIF data stripped. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...71049595LFesiw |

Was the sun directly overhead? |

In message , Ken Lucke
writes [ lunar eclipse] Let's see 'em :^) Shot with an older Fuji Finepic F602Z at maximum zoom, on a tripod, at full aperture with no extra optics such as a telescope. I used the 2-second shutter release timer to reduce camera shake. I've (obviously) cropped out the interesting bits from much larger images. http://www.antipope.org/~nojay/eclipse/DSCF0010.jpg Near the start of the eclipse, F/10 at (I think) about 1/125s, ISO200. http://www.antipope.org/~nojay/eclipse/DSCF0053.jpg About half-way towards totality. This one was at 1/60s. http://www.antipope.org/~nojay/eclipse/DSCF0084.jpg close to totality. A longer exposure of six seconds at ISO160 showing the reddish cast caused by Earthlight. http://www.antipope.org/~nojay/eclipse/DSCF0100.jpg Almost there. 4 seconds at ISO400. All shot in Edinburgh -- the earlier pictures suffered from intermittent thin cloud cover but as the night progressed that cleared away. Focussing sharply on the Moon was a pain, even on manual as the image in the viewfinder was tiny. The timestamps are from the EXIF data and are not exact, but good to a few minutes. Not great images, but not bad for an out-of-the-box older prosumer non-DSLR camera. Next time I try something like this I'll use a telescope and see if it comes out better. -- To reply, my gmail address is nojay1 Robert Sneddon |

The picture was taken from the house - it would have been even more spectacular in the dark of the countryside. Yes, they are (slightly out of focus) stars, and not hot pixels. I had wondered myself, but it agreed with binoculars and was not the same pixel from shot to shot. Sorry the weather didn't help you. Cheers, David |
