OK - the show doesn't start for another hour - I got my time zones mixed up.
Iceblinker - for the full moon, I get the best results at 1/320 (that's at f8 and ISO400). I expect I'll have to slow down and/or increase sensitivity as the eclipse occurs...

Apparently I setup too early - frozen already, and no shadow yet...

I'm hoping it'll be OK - if the 500mm mirror is too dark (f I'll try with my 2.8 but it's only 80 at the long end... the 1.7X would make that 135mm at f4 or so - might work... Hopefully noise won't be too much of an issue if I have to bump the ISO up past 800 (I currently have that set as the high end...)
We'll try...

If I don't - send someone with hot coffee... or alcohol... - it's -8 degrees celsius now, and as soon as the sun goes down, so does the temperature...
Can't see any clouds out the window right now... Might be good... Found the 500mm mirror but the monopod won't cut it tonight - hmmm... where did I leave that tripod...

Hopefully we get some clear skies here - starts just after supper - about an hour after sunset.
Sure wish I had a Bigma now...

If your camera happens to lock onto anything else to focus on, you're pretty much out of luck - I always either set mine to spot (if the subject is central) or pre-focus and turn the AF on remote off... (there may be better methods...)
When you're not looking in the viewfinder, if you're on a mode that selects a focus point automatically, you can never be sure just where that'll be...

(but don't mind me - the camera could be full of elves with paintbrushes - as long as they continue painting, I'm happy... )

looks kind neat (maybe not for the bush...)
But covering up the front of the flash that way... Does the sensor on the flash body not get used at all during P-TTL operation?
Just wonderin'
