Default Re: Photographing the Eclipse

If I remember correctly, the moon is something like 10,000 times LESS bright during a total eclipse - it nearly disappears from the sky. Using my longest lens wide open I could barely see the moon in the viewfinder, making it near impossible to focus.

Also, be sure to use a tripod and shutter cable!!
