The eclipse

[Gary]

I'm watching the eclipse.

Perfect night for it, not a cloud in the sky.

Barbarian, should have some good ones with his camera.

That's exactly what I see.

Thanks for posting them. I couldn't get my camera to focus.

The moon always come out as little more than a blob of light on my camera.

floridas red moon thought not as clear as it was rather small and I had the camera on max zoom. it was hard to keep the camera steady enough not to blurr the image.@claudya

You need a good optical zoom and a long enough exposure time, I'd guess like 0.25 - 0.5 sec for an eclipsed full moon (thus you'd also need a tripod if you want to be real pro because with a telephoto lens 0.25 sec is long enough to be shaky).

At least your camera could take it in at full eclipse, mine needed more light.
