Camera settings for tonight’s PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE! 📷 Mount your DSLR or mirrorless camera on a sturdy tripod, switch to manual mode, and use a telephoto lens. Ideally 300mm or longer. For the bright Moon, start around: 📷 ISO 200 📷 1/250-second shutter speed 📷 Adjust your aperture as needed As more of the Moon slips into Earth’s shadow, gradually increase your ISO and slow the shutter speed. Check your histogram and review your images frequently (the settings will change throughout the eclipse) A star tracker (that moves with the motion of the sky) helps immensely and gives you much more control (that's what I used for my image!).
