On Wednesday, February 20, 2008, we had a total lunar eclipse here in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. It was
bitterly cold (-11F), which I think means less interference from the air. I put my
Panasonic FZ50 (a $420 camera with built-in 12X lens, not some
big-buck professional model) on a tripod on the front porch and
took a few shots every 10 minutes (thanks to my Radio Shack timer),
bracketing +/- one stop.
The moon didn't get that red to the naked eye, but it did in the pictures, as I had to lower the shutter speed from about 1/400 of a second down to about 2 seconds. (The extremely low light of the eclipse also made for some blurry shots.) Then I cropped the photos in The Gimp. (See also my photos from the 5/15/03 eclipse.) - Tom Arneberg (toma@arneberg.com)
