Lunar eclipse with the V1
We had a nice Lunar eclipse viewable from here in the Western North Carolina mountains last night ... at least it showed when the clouds were not in the way.
As an experiment, I shot it with my V1 using only the standard 20x lens that comes on it. I did magnify the footage 200% in post just so the Moon would be a bit larger, but the last part of my resulting 6-minute film -- the time lapse -- is actual size. You can see it at: http://urtvforums.org/eclipse.php --Ralph

You sure made it difficult to see, went from page to page ending up in a full circle with no video, would have have liked to see video, I am in Calif and it had too much cloud cover

Hi Ralph,
I wonder if they were the same clouds as in Hillsborough?! I didn't get to see much of it but I did a lucky break at around 10:15pm. I have a very short clip here: http://www.enosoft.net/videos/Eclipse2.wmv According to NASA, the moon should have been at full eclipse but clearly it wasn't... John. |

If I copy the URL, launch a new instance of IE and paste the URL then the Flash version opens correctly. |

I gave up on IE long ago... use Firefox now ... but it may be a conflict between IE and Adobe -- I keep getting an error message when I try to upgrade Flash in IE. Yet another reason to abandon IE because I'm not Flash back to 8 -- having H.264 and HD capability is just too durn neat. ;-) ... hopefully, Microsoft will get the issue resolved soon.

you'll have to experiment just a little for the best image but the above will get you in the neighborhood. --Ralph

You have to expose for the moon just like you would any other daylight situation -- after all you are shooting something that is fully illuminated by the sun, remember it is "broad daylight" on the moon wherever the sun is shining on it... no matter what phase it's in (full, crescent etc.), except when it's a new moon, then the only light it's getting from our point of view is earthshine.
See some sample images here: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=68960 http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=67201 (obviously these are *not* eclipse photos!) |
