Thanks, good advice. Years ago I recorded the progress of a lunar eclipse on 35mm film using multiple exposures on one frame using a 300mm lens on my Minolta XK. I shot on slide film and had a ...

start of eclipse continue continue almost there total eclipse Had trouble finding the moon in the cold 38F weather in N Florida.

I may put my Russian 25 power spyglass/telescope on another tripod! It collapses to about 10" and has a tripod adapter drilled into it. I got it in the early 1990's from the importer and optically ...

Thanks. Now I wish I had the little 3.5" Questar I wanted years ago.

Tonight is the orange moon eclipse, the so-called Blood Moon. It will be cold at 47F here in North Florida. I will try to better this time by using a tripod. I am still going to base the initial ...

It was a little cold for the bee. resting on the Thai Basil no movement a little closer The A700 with Minolta 50mm Macro keeps on going.

Not so with my S5. It needs the Android FTP, then it will show you all the data on the phone. Am I missing something?

Never liked my cell phone, a Samsung S5, but it takes pretty good images under sunny-16 days. Still have a landline! I had some pretty good (to me) shots of cars at a car show and wanted to upload ...

I have a couple of A700's. To me they "feel" like a "real" camera, more like my A850 but not as heavy. When the A700 came out in the US it sold for around $1500 as I remember. I have 2 battery ...

OK, I didn't read the thread too clearly. My experience is with the dimming of the moon during a lunar eclipse. As, to the moon phases I would think if you could take an incident light reading at ...

Can you show examples of the moon on the horizon and overhead. It seems to me that the light reflecting to us would be dimmed by the atmosphere for the rising Moon.

True, but what about the layers of atmosphere/polution difference between high overhead and a moon that is rising above the land or ocean?

That's what I call "moony-16" for a full moon over head with a cold clear sky use f16. 3/4 moon and lower in the sky will need f8 or f11. When I photographed the eclipse I would increase the ...

I will have train my homemade camera obscurer on the full moon and trace it like the old masters did. If I remember I used a telescope achromat of about 30" focal length bought from the shack. ...

Back to the other extreme - I want a Fuji GFX100R to go with the GFX100S for shooting video and projecting on 8k.

Please explain or is it a secret technique?

I will wait for the GFX100S and/or GFX100R version to shoot underwater "Imax" type videos!! In my dreams!

Beautiful. Handheld? Not! A very heavy tripod for star gazing? So, was Saturn really there? What was composite about the photo?

I agree. Years ago I tracked a lunar eclipse with multiple exposures on 35mm using a Minolta XK and Minolta 300mm lens. Made a poster sized print that was pretty good. I was on a dock on the river ...

Well I must be in my 2nd or maybe 3rd childhood.
