Filling the Unforgiving Minute: A Harsh Mistress

Great eclipse experience tonight. The best and most complete eclipse of my life.

This is hand-held with my zoom.

At 2/21/2008 9:04 AM, Josh Gentry said...: It was 100% cloudy here, as well. And hailing. And extremely windy.

Fun picture. Did you do anything special to get the night shot?
At 2/21/2008 9:20 AM, Matt Dick said...: All I did was wait until it was 50% exposed, which allowed enough light in that I could take this hand-held.

This one was through Margot's telescope last year.

At 2/26/2008 7:36 AM, Matt Dick said...: Josh, as long as you have plenty of light, meaning the moon is bright, you ought to do fine.

Anna, I wish I'd had the lake to work with for this shot.
