Lunar Eclipse: August 28, 2007

Early this morning, there was a lunar eclipse. I awoke, went outside and took pictures.

Things that I learned from this little adventure. I need a better tripod and a nice high-powered telescope that I can slap my DSLR onto the next time I try this. A remote timer is likely going to be next on my list, as self-timer + mirror lockup is only a 2 second delay, which isn't nearly enough time to stop the vibration on the tripod.

Good shots!I have to see how mine came out next week after we move.Since most of my stuff if boxed and unaccessible I had to handhold my 75-100F4.5/5.6 IS - On the built in LCD most of the shots looked OK even with high zoom.Next time I hope to have a tripod and my remote trigger or maybe even my laptop with EOS.app.
