Micheal,
I'm in the process of snapping away now.
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...

Jem

Eclipsed Moon Rising

Tonight will be a special night for Moon-watchers. 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.

Carpe Luna,
Michael E. Berube
