Be sure to check out the Lunar Eclipse.

Sadly I don't have a fancy camera like my brother (and I have no idea what F stops are),  so these were taken with my point and shoot digital camera sitting on a tripod whilst keeping the shutter open for 15 seconds.

Gravatar Image1 - The little icon that appears at planetlotus.org is very fitting. I guess you get a half circle for mentioning the word "Eclipse".

Gravatar Image2 - Not where I live Emoticon. Therefor I thought it was a special version of IBM's Eclipse Emoticon

Gravatar Image3 - Emoticon COOL!

Gravatar Image4 - Cool !
(BTW: for some reason, this post did not get picked up by my feedreader until this morning so I missed the event - then again, we have "fowl" weather.)

Gravatar Image5 - Clouds and sleep negated any viewing for me Emoticon

f stop = the focal length of a lens divided by the aperture diameter.

f number on Wikipedia >> { Link }

The lower the number, the faster the lens, which means it can be used in lower lighting conditions.

Lens speed on Wikipedia >> { Link }

Gravatar Image6 - @5 So I should have used the lowest F number?

Gravatar Image7 - Yes, assuming there was enough light to support using it, decrease the shutter speed to compensate............ you're probably bored by now...... You have chosen THE most difficult thing to photograph, the moon has fascinated mankind since the beginning of time (yes, before 1967!). This weekend, go to a photostore, buy a good digital camera & a spotting scope & go do some digiscoping { Link } at the moon, or som eother far flung object, I bet you get hooked Emoticon
