Lunar eclipse tonight at DVinfo.net

Boyd Ostroff · May 15th, 2003, 05:08 PM

Just curious if anybody is planning to shoot video of the total lunar eclipse tonight. Since it's in progress for a couple hours, it would be hard to get any sort of closeup timelapse sequence without a motor drive like a telescope uses. But I may play around with my cameras anyway, if the weather permits and if I feel so inclined later tonight :-)

Would probably be up on the roof if the cloud cover wasn't expected to so heavy. Wind and rain too, if the forecast holds.

I shot some footage last night. Unfortunately, the moon didn't rise over the mountain until the eclipse was receding. I got some good footage, and I'll post a link later this weekend if anyone wants to see it.

Well there was a heavy cloud cover at my home in South Jersey... bummer!
