What surprised me about photographing the moon is that you can get away with using shutter speeds you'd expect for daylight shots, here 125th and 250th (albeit set manually, AE just doesn't get you anywhere). Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, we'll be off to the UK for 3 weeks on Friday, best from Hannover. Douglas grduprey@mchsi.com wrote: > Douglas, > > Nice series of shots of the lunar eclipse.
