Lunar Eclipse in the US tomorrow!

Hey guys, I read this on BBC news and while it's utterly useless to me, being in the UK an' all, thought US/Canadian folks might be interested.

That's GMT time so you'll need to convert it to your time zone. Hope it's a clear night so you can get some good shots! To take good shots of the moon with your dSLR you need a low ISO, wide open aperture and medium exposure.

I got this shot:

with 1/320, f2.8 and ISO 100, using a 40-80mm lens on macro mode.

Happy snapping, give it a shot!

That's about 8:30pm for Sydney, Australia. :) I just hope there's no cloud!

To amend my post, this site - http://www.sydneyobservatory.com.au/blog/ - says between 8:16 and 11pm.
