Had a crack at it tonight at 600mm.. very hard to get a decent sharp shot due to vibrations from my tripod and the combination of very high iso + slow shutter speed..still good fun!

Was ready to go, and the clouds wouldn't go.:(:(

I had very clear skies here where I live and managed to get some shots, I posted one in the Night/Astro forum.

I wish I had the reach of 600mm, I only had my kit lens at 250mm, but I'm happy with the photos I was able to get with it.

I never even knew about this til it was almost over !

[Pixley]

I needed to get to higher ground - I couldnt see the moon until it was over. I have seen some good shots already taken by other photographers though!

Well here is what we saw in Sydney!

You were unlucky with the cloud Brad, but you got a nice shot of the Opera House.

[bcys1961]

Yes , I suppose you have to make the most of what you are given.

It all happens again in the second week of October.

There is a solar eclipse this tuesday coming but being a daylight one you really need to be prepared with a solar filter, pointing your camera directly at the sun spells bad news.. there is also another full lunar in october and another solar one to follow that.
