Monday Night’s Lunar Eclipse

I'm going to try to take some photographs should the sky cooperate.

Here are some suggested settings for the camera.

All the times and f-stops are for 200 ISO, so you’ll have to adapt for other ISOs:

Full moon, or moon more than half visible: 1/60 sec. at f/16

Half to one-quarter of the moon visible: 1/30 sec. at f/16

Less than one-quarter of the moon visible: 1/15 sec. at f/16

Just the edge of the moon lit: 1 sec. at f/16

Fully eclipsed at beginning and end of totality: 4 sec. at f/5.6

Fully eclipsed, deepest totality: 8 sec. at f/5.
