I am just back from the event...
What a wonderful thing to see..
The photos were a worry.
I could not figure (having spent the previous night setting up for fast shutter changes, iso etc...) why I could not pick up an image??? one exposure lasted 500 seconds yet no Moon???
Must be something funny happening with the light...
My mirror was stuck in the 300d..must be near worn out I guess...
It became apparent after... but trying to find out why during the "moment" whilst still trying to enjoy the event did not happen...
I managed a few "half" shots which because of the long exposure times I was going for... generally 30 seconds..30 seconds on the Moon!!! yes how strange do you think that felt at the time???
But the up side was I got heaps of stars and one with a star sitting right on the horizon on the Moon..looked real neat.
So what a performance.. it was beautiful from home dark clear and still... I will sort thru my photos and maybe post something if it seems fair.
When I came in it became apparent that it was the camera playnig up looking at a few internal test shoots ....and the mirror when proded went back and has not been a worry since...
But of all the nights this had to happen... oh well.
