My ISO was 320. I’ve managed to salvage a couple of them. I also think I was dealing with some atmospheric haze making crispness next to impossible. I think if it wasn’t so cold I would have played around with a couple of more settings. Looks like the next lunar eclipse is June 15, 2011. My tripod was on my back deck and I also think there may have been a touch of inherent vibration. All in all, I may have been very close to as good as it gets in a couple of shots despite the conditions and settings. Photo is on my Flickr page.

I found that I could get decent shots by increasing the ISO to 400. What ISO were you using?

And it was cold. -8C felt like -80 in PJs! I have shot the moon several times before with no trouble. Canon 7D, 400mm, tripod, self-timer etc. But my shots were a touch blurry upon magnification. After about five shots I was now awake enough to conclude that the moon was moving too much for my exposure times between 5-10 seconds. As I decreased the time, they were sharper.
After an hour of trying various settings, I jumped back into bed like a frozen block of ice. Just a touch disappointing!
Doing a search this morning revealed that the even within a 10 second exposure the moon will move 1/12 of it’s diameter. This value seems a little high, but it definitely moves within a few seconds and especially noticeable with a zoom lens.
I’ll pull my shots up on the computer to see what is descent ….. sigh!
