12/21: Total Lunar Eclipse

Posted in Long exposures on December 21, 2010 by budbranch

I set an alarm for an hour before totality (2:15EDT).  When I first went outside, the sky was complete overcast (as forecast).  The now-waning crescent moon was occasionally visible behind the clouds, so I set up my tripod and experimented with exposure settings – the results were not pretty…

I went inside to warm up, and when I poked my head back out, the sky was CLEAR!   I quick-like-a-bunny started shooting, not knowing when the clouds would pile back on….

Let There Be Light!
