Thank you. It was taken with a canon 7d, 100-400 @ 400mm, 1/80, F8.0, iso400. I did have image stabilisation turned on as I was handholding.
From reading a few guides I should be able to up the shutter speed a bit and remove a bit of the blur.
Hi Darren,
I've looked for my old photos of the last total lunar eclipse but I must have binned them as they were not worth keeping.
After some research, I found that the moon during full eclipse is 10 orders of magnitude dimmer. I'm guessing that's about 3 stops. Perhaps some photo pro would like to put me right if that's not correct?
Each stop doubles the light entering the sensor so 2 x 2 x 2 =8 times as much light - I stand by my guess. But we'll be able to confirm this tonight one way or the other assuming the pesky clouds stay away!I think the correct answer is somewhere between your two guesses. One order of magnitude is x10, so 10 orders of magnitude is 10^10 or about 32 stops. But 3 stops is definitely too small.
