First off, to Astrostu, thanks much for working to put together a guide based on experience of how to shoot these things. I've done alot of night photography, but like another poster, quality wall-hanger-worthy "sky" shots have eluded me.
You're welcome. I've gotten feedback from two forum members in terms of edits and suggestions and I'm working on a second revision that should be done by the end of the week. I'm trying to have this finished by the end of next week, in time for the full moon on January 22-ish.
And to both Astrostu and Garbz, those are fantastic photos! Incredible!
Thanks.
Finally, this might make a good TPF photo contest--pics of the lunar eclipse. Just a thought . . .
PM a moderator and suggest it. They may not like the idea for two reasons, though. First, it's not visible from all over the globe, so some people would be automatically excluded (China, Japan, Australia are all excluded from the one this February). Second, eclipse photos - other than size and quality - should look fairly identical, it would only be the composition of what you do with the final photos that is the artistic part that "unique-ifies" the final product.
