I took
a picture of the last conjunction between saturn and the moon. Shooting at about
1 sec with eyepiece projection and a focal length of about 10,000 mm,
saturn came out pretty well on teh picture but the moon is overexposed. I tried
many pictures that night bracketing the exposure but the only way to get saturn
is overexposing the moon. My suggestion is to try for 1/2 second and then work
out coontrast on saturn with photoshop. I did teh other way around (using
photoshop to reduce moon contrast) and it is still very difficult to understand
that is the moon.
However, if you use a CCD camera you may have more
dynamic and the moon details will be better than with film. I think the best
way would be to use a video camera and record the whole experience if you can.
It is really amazing.
