Thanks Dan. I'm not very happy with the FA 80-320/4.5-5.6 on the K-1 (nor on the K5), but it has fairly good length for a moon shot. Henk Op 2018-02-01 om 07:44 schreef Daniel J. Matyola: Nice image Henk! Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Wed, Jan 31, 2018 at

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography

battling this cold I work up more than the usual amount of times and when I checked the clock and saw it was about an hour before the time when it would be lowest and reddest I went to the living room window .. the position of the moon at that point did show me a bit of a pale yellow-orange

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography

Super Moon because it's close to perigee (appears about 7% larger). Blue Moon because it's the second full moon in the month of January. Blood Moon because it's going to be a total lunar eclipse. It's a fairly rare thing for all three to occur during the same full moon. The last time one was

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography

I've given this a bit more thought and it seems to me you go to the same place every time you go out to Hawaii. If that's true, might there be someplace out there where you could store a tripod between visits? Alternatively, you might consider shipping the tripod to where-ever you are going

The news here called it a "super blue blood moon eclipse" because it'll be a supermoon as well. I can't be bothered trying to get photos of it. Cheers, Dave > On Jan 30, 2018, at 12:40 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > > I heard there was going to be a "Blue Moon" on Jan

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography

Thanks, Larry and John! I have already though about the bean bag approach, and even picked up some dried peans to put in a bag. I also though of using the ir remote to fire to shutter, to avoid shutter shake. Years ago I framed the full moon between two palm trees, and I might try that again.

Re: HELP! Advice on Lunar Eclipse Photography

Check out local camera stores. Maybe you can rent a tripod. How far are you from that volcano that you sometimes post images from when you're in Hawaii? Can you drive up to the top to get above the weather? Given your available equipment, I'd go with the FA 1:2.8 100 mm Macro, and I think
