Well the Eastern Region is having a full Lunar Eclipse on Saturday March 3, 2007.
What would be the best way to take some cool photos of this?
All opinions are welcome. I do have a telescope and a T mount Adapter for my Canon DSLR but my telescope isn't working. What would be the next best thing besides an airplane ride?

So all you photography buffs on here don't have any clues?

Well, I don't... we had a Lunar eclipse a couple years ago and I attempted to shoot it with a 75-300 on a 50-year-old tripod. The result wasn't clear at all.

got rice?

You can still get nice shots at 200 or 300mm if you have a telephoto lens.
Just remember shooting the moon is like shooting the sun, it's very bright so shutter speeds won't have to be slow. If you shoot around f/8, 1/250, iso 400-800 you can handhold the shot. If you shoot at lower iso, you may need a tripod depending on what settings you go with.

Bill, it's happening in 10 minutes for us. I think there's going to be too much sunlight this time around anyway.

I heard that you'll see red moon. anyone care to capture it?

I only have 24-70mm. I'll try but no promises.

I've taken a few at 200m, so dark though it couldn't auto focus and very hard to see through viewfinder. I'll post some up in a bit but there a bit blurry

There is a fantastic red hazy moon now, very eerie indeed.

Pics didn't come out at all though

There are a few pics here that one of the UK guys took. . .
