Weather permitting, on Wednesday, October 27 in the U.S., (Thursday, October 28 in other parts of the world) a total eclipse of the Moon will be visible in much of North and South America as well as Europe and Western Africa. This is an exciting event for astronomers and it can provide great picture opportunities to photographers as well. Photographing the moon is relatively easy compared to other celestial bodies, because it's relatively close to the earth. The tips that follow will show you how to photograph the moon under normal circumstances, or under eclipse conditions.
