Do you plan on taking photos Monday during the lunar eclipse?
Many of us will probably have our cameras or phones out during the lunar eclipse on Monday, but very few of us will end up with photos of the moon and sun that are very satisfactory. Much information can be found on the web for "photography tips and tricks" for this big event, but most successful pictures will be created by cameras and phones with special attachments and filters purchased specifically for this event.
So, what does that mean for us amateurs?
1) Enjoy the event.
2) Get your protective glasses now if you don't already have them. Use them throughout the whole event unless you travel to a location that will have 100% coverage area for a couple of minutes.
3) Take photos and video of what is happening around you during the eclipse. Record people's reactions and comments during the event. (Go to the zoo to observe how this affects the animals).
Caution: DO NOT USE A FLASH OF ANY KIND! You will ruin the dark adaptation of everyone's eyes, and will spoil the show for them all!!
4) Or, just savor the experience. Use your eyes and senses to experience this once in a lifetime event.
