Total lunar eclipse - Febr 20, 2008 - across North America

A total lunar eclipse is coming in just over a week. Anyone thinking
about taking some photos? I hope the weather is clear in the midwest.
Unfortunately, we are now gripped by a harsh cold and windy winter
with temperature around -40F (or -40C). Perhaps this event will show
what camera reigns supreme and can stand the cold, outdoor weather.

I expect to. I picked up a Pentax K110 a few weeks ago and plan to use
it for some
astrophotography. A lunar eclipse is a good start.

I plan on shooting it as well. Using my Caon 20d. Only thing is I don't
know if I'll be shooting through a telephoto lens or a telescope.

It'll be hard to beat the old, mechanical film cameras...

Not too many digitals seem to like the cold.

Take Care,

Thanks.

I've shot several lunar eclipses before. Here is link to my astroimages:

Both the Full Moon HDR and Totality HDR were taken during last August's
Eclipse.

This has some smaller versions of the other gallery but a bunch of stuff I
have not posted there.

Walter :
Thanks for your info and link to NASA site
Craig:
The two photos of the total eclipse are awesome!. Did you take it with
the Canon 20D? They were indicated as HDR photos, so you must have
taken multiple exposure shots?
I particularly like the colour one, i.e. the one with the slightly
reddish colour.
Thanks for sharing!
