What is the best way to take pictures of the lunar eclipse tonight with a Powershot SD500?

Question

You might have to walk me through the steps, because I'm not too experienced with my camera. I need to know the best settings to take pictures of the lunar eclipse, and how to set the settings.

Answer 1

Hi. Sorry but that lunar eclipse has passed. Usually it is best to bracket each exposure by taking several shots at various exposure lengths. I had one published that was 120 seconds at f/5 or so. Experiment! That's most of the fun!

Answer 2

finished lunar eclipse at 7:fifty one pm PST. I merely went outdoors and could see it a million/2 eclipsed already! Thank goodness, the sky is obvious in the east in Vancouver Washington, appropriate now!
