I've the 400/6.8 on the SL and a Novoflex 640/8 with its 2x on the SL2. But I see so much vibration when the mirrors return to position. Good sturdy Tiltall tripod, but maybe it needs additional damping...

You'll see the Moon partially steeped in shadow as it rises Tonight, the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. Earth-bound observers will view a darkened Moon in the sky. North American observers will not be a favoured position to observe this eclipse. Sky-watchers in Europe, Africa, and Asia will be able to view the entire event. Those of us on the East Coast of the US will not be able to see the Moon completed immersed in Earth's shadow. This complete immersion - -called totality- will be over before Moonrise.
