Okay people. I just bought a new digital camera. 8MP Kodak z885. (I had to replace my other digital since my keys punched the screen. It still works otherwise, but basically it's a point and shoot now.) Anyway, I want to use the new camera on the Lunar Eclipse tonight, but know nothing about taking the pictures. So any info? I have a tripod that the camera will fit on. Other than that I have no idea what I'm doing. I love taking pictures, but I'm new to the whole digital thing.

I'd be interested in some responses also. I couldn't tell you much since I'm trying to learn too.
I've noticed on my cheap camera, it takes the best pictures in the Auto mode. For the eclipse, I'd be sure to turn the flash off.
Anyone know what time the eclipse is?

Unfortunately it's becoming very cloudy
Not the puffy cloudy where you might have a shot at getting the moon between an opening in the clouds but a thick sky full and with snow forecast later so it's not looking good throughout the northeast
To bad since Saturn will be just to the left of the moon when the eclipse happens
I guess we will have to wait Dec. 20, 2010 for the next one

I've got my 1000mm lens on, but my tripod is wobbling...
Looks like the clamp is working, but the part the clamp clamps to is loose...
I'm going to try with a cable and a black card and see if I can stabilize things by lashing it tight...
We'll see how things turn out!
