There is a full eclipse of the moon coming up this month, and you will be able to view it well from North America. It starts at 9:14 PM and ends at 12:54 AM, with the period of totality between 10:23 and 11:45, all eastern times. Better catch it now, because the next one is in 2007. To get a good picture, use a long lens (2000mm if you have one, for a digital or 35mm camera). Turn off the autoexposure (and the flash :-/). When still fully illuminated by the sun, expose for a darkish-grey object lit by the sun (around f5.6 at 1/200 for ASA 100). During totality, your guess is as good as mine... Just set the flash to auto. :-) but chances are you will have to use a fairly slow shutter speed and the image will blur because of movement. ...unless you have a clock drive!
