Thanks Mike..

 

The moon will hang 6 deg. above the horizon at maximum (530am, 430am), depending which has better weather.

 

I remeber the fuji 800 was a nice one to use, but with much grain.

Im looking for other film recomendations like provia 400 pushed? 

Any thoughts on this or other film is appreciated

 

Brian

Brian,

 

Just a thought...you have an opportunity for comparing results of dark of the moon versus full moon this month by shooting half a roll now and the rest later in the month.  Although your washout will vary depending on angular distance from the moon among other factors, this might give you a good idea.

 

Luck,

 

Mike Connors

Hey all

 

This year I will be taping and of course taking pics of the leonids.

However, with the full moon, what should exposure lengths be using Fuji 800 spd?

With the full moon, I know the faintest could be washed out.

Any other recomendations of what film to use that have a good colour balance?

 

Thanks,

Brian
