[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 10431, member: 654"] I'll be shooting with a 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G Nikkor on a tripod. The eclipse will start around 1:33 am as a partial and finish around 5:00 am. The total eclipse will last about seventy-two minutes. The long time span is because it will be passing through almost the widest part of the earths shadow. The experts say this will be a "red" eclipse because of the high altitude atmospheric dust left over from a number of active volcanos from around the world. This is an winter equinox eclipse that won't happen again for another 450 years. So if you miss this one it will be a long wait for the next one. Lots of time to experiment with filters, ND, and exposure. It's said that this lens is soft at 300mm. This will also be a chance for me to take some comparative shots at different focal lengths to see just what it can, or can't, do. [/QUOTE]
