Re: Lunar Eclipse Tonight
Actually, it's not until tomorrow (October 27th).
EDIT:
Where did I get the idea he was talking about TODAY'S eclipse? ??? I must have time travelled again... :
END EDIT.

Forecast says cloudy all through the night. Bummer, just love that apocalyptic blood red moon.

It's going to be clear here. The only clear night of the forseeable future. Guess I lucked out there.
I'm going to shoot this thing and do a timelapse but here's the problem. The whole eclipse is going to last about an hour and a half. The moon will easily move out of my frame multiple times during this process. I don't want to shoot too wide because I won't get the detail I am looking for (I'm shooting with the 1.6x teleconverter).
It's going to look silly to keep reframing it, particularly with a timelapse....what to do?

Try to find if a local astronomy club has a viewing session(most do on events like that). Someone might have one of those fancy motor-driven telescopes - maybe the'll let you attach the DVX to it. You'd have the moon in the same spot in the frame for the whole time.

Oh, I forgot to mention - you may want to create a mask with a round cutout and put it over your EVF display for easier re-framing. It WOULD be silly, but at least you'd have something close enough - then you could use track motion to put the moon in the right spot in post. But I think that would be really painful exercise...
