Lunar Eclipse 15/04/2014

Postby Geoff M on Fri Apr 11, 2014 3:07 pm

We should be able to witness a total lunar eclipse on 15/04/14, cloud cover permitting.

Details of timing for the eastern seaboard AU: http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/a ... o=20140415

Has anybody shot a lunar eclipse before?

Care to share any tips on how best to make an image?

Thanks for the info Gerry. Yeah looks like it will be a no go!

Love what you have done with those compositions, I think you may have posted some of them before? They seem familiar.
