Love the pics...I took 48 and I couldn't get any to come out right. Mine could have well been of the other "moon" for all I know...mine was that bad. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Eclipse is awesome, pictures ahhh?
Geeze thanks, I was really hoping for spectacular. Just seeing it and being able to shoot it is spectacular enough!
I'm glad I could share!
TT I'll ssee what else I can get for you.

Re: Eclipse is awesome, pictures ahhh?
You did good Kim!!! I actually did get to see some of it, the snow stopped about an hour before and became just mostly cloudy, so every now and then the star, Saturn and the Moon were briefly making their appearance, so I did get to see it, but no photos, since I knew the up north gal would be posting.

Re: Eclipse is awesome, pictures ahhh?
I'm really glad a few of us got to share for those who could not see it. Don't feel bad about not getting a great shot. I tried all sorts of settings, with the flash, without the flash, with the tripod, without the tripod, took 100 pictures to get a few good ones.
My intentions are to print a few out and maybe frame a couple for my office. Gonna do that now.
I just wish the stars would show in the pictures too, what a sight that eclipse was!

Good job Moon Girl! I was wondering if you had clear skies. We had some light, spotty clouds and I took about 25 but none with the clarity of your first pic.
What settings did you use on the camera and did you use a tripod?

Dig, I'm so glad I could share for your son. That makes my day.
Wes.........your gonna make me fess up aren't you? The first one was on auto with a tri pod, no flash. I probably would have gotten some even better pictures if I um
had it on night scene instead of mountain . What can I say it was dark. I looked at my camera this morning and saw it on MT and wanted to kick myself! ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
You would not believe the folks around here that had a perfect view and missed it.
I guess I just don't get it, a spectacular sight like that and no interest in it? Glad I printed out some pictures so they could see what they missed.

You're getting really good with that camera CG!! I played around and got some shots as well, but nothing I really liked that much - I need to figure out how to get the moon's surface in focus!
Here's two of the shots I took. The first one is the best of my "eclipse" shots, and the other was an earlier test shot of the moon - I screwed up the exposure, but my wife liked this one because of the outline of the trees surrounding it.
