Thanks for reminding me Steve!! :biggrin: Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Pretty cool so far! Nice clear skies - wish I had bigger binoculars.

I wish it didn't look like a little speck on my camera :razz:

Good call on the binocs :biggrin:

My pictures are turning out ok. Ill post some later.

it's foggy here...

I might have gotten some good pics, got to let the camera warm up from being outside for the last 30 min befor I can do anything.

Steve

I put my camera through my telescope so there not bad still some are a little blurry. But they look pretty cool.

Very cool pics :cool: Saw the eclipse from our balcony last night. Clear sky at last around here :biggrin:

My camera has a night setting. Basically it leaves the shutter open for a couple of seconds and opens up the aperature to 11 point something. The second pic, I was messing around with the manual settings. I took about 60 pics, each with its own setting so I couldn't tell you what the settings were for that one. I think the shutter speed was pretty quick though.

Christy :)

Yeah i have teh night setting to but no tripod. I had to put my camera through the telescope lens to get that close up.

I definitely had to use a tripod. I took a couple pictures without and there are like 4 moons doing a dance in the picture. I also used my 2x telephoto lens which I had forgotten I have :rolleyes: Works great when I actually remember to use it :razz:

here are my two pics.

you meen this one

"Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart"

hehe almost bad to admit that I actualy like that song LOL

Steve

Nope. I like it too. The bad part is that you can type all the lyrics to it! :razz:

ok so I won't tell you I know the words to the rest of it also :redface:

Steve

WoW bonnie tyler, you guys must be old :eek: j/k but really....

Heh the morning of the eclipse,as I was driving to work they mentioned it on the radio and then followed it by that song. I had it in my head all day. I would just get rid of it and then someone would mention the eclipse and there it was again :rolleyes: :razz:
