Lunar eclipse leh...
Is moon being blocked by earth's shadow.

What you're saying is solar eclipse

i'm keen, but your original post did not seem like an invitation, more like "FYI".

Experienced moon-shooters (or anyone who knows the answers):
- What focal length do i need?
- Are telescopes (with camera mount) available for rent? Where, how much?

TIA.

2 x 2x + 300mm? That would bring me to f11 wide open, and i'd probably need to stop down 2-3 stops to offset the teleconvertors' degradation? Sounds tough, BUT i will TRY. :lovegrin:

[redstone]

any ideas where is a good place to shoot?

Any place where the moon could be seen. No idea in which direction though

i'll be taking note of the position of the moon a few nights before the eclispe just to make sure and scout out a good high location for the shoot. most prob a HDB block.

Good idea. Should look for a spot with minimum stray light too.

Bedok Reservior, 8th Sept, anyone interested?
