    I thought the eclipse started this morning, but it was just a bottlecap in my eye.

    Great photo dlew308 :D

    I was under the clouds for this one. I do remember seeing lunar eclipses two years in a row when I was in Turkey, Octobers 1985 and 1986.

    Sure. Think of the moon in terms of brightness of the Sun. Ap Priority won't work right. When it's this bright try f/8 and 1/125
    Vary the shutter speeds until you get it to your liking....tonight is a good night to try again.
    Some say the sunny method, f/16 and 1/iso-speed#
    Since it's brightness varies, start from one point and go from there

    Good luck :)

    Dlew,


    Thanks for the pointer, the picture was much improved even if it was a cloudy night. Now I think it was the 300mm lens difference. The D100 has a mag factor right 1.5 or so?
