Time Lapse of Lunar Eclipse 286
MufasaZX writes "Start with a relatively rare occurrence, the complete lunar eclipse from last Wednesday. Next add the amazingly rare, a perfectly clear fog free night in San Francisco, as viewed from the cliffs overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Then I set up my trusty Sony MiniDV camcorder and wide angle lens on a tripod and proceeded to freeze my butt off for 2 hours. Dump the video into Premier, accelerate it 200x to just 37 seconds, and the resulting video is IMHO simply stunning. Until my web server gets crushed you can download it here, but after that please use your Gnutella client of choice and search for LunarEclipse-10-2004.wmv."

I'd have tried that with a digital camera using interval shots and a graduated filter to allow better exposure of the ground and maybe keep some of the moons featues visible rather than making it look like a torch pen on the end of a fishing rod.
Still, some credit is due for trying.
Interesting, but not great. *Here* is great. (Score:5, Interesting)
And this timelapse video [lacquersound.com] shows what can be done in that arena.
Wide angle lens? (Score:3, Interesting)
I've seen the movie, and the other comments are correct - it's just a dot that appears and fades away.
It would have been much better if he'd used a zoom lens, unless I'm missing something?

Here's a short video of my result - it's not as smooth as the original poster's, but it shows the moon a bit better - however please don't expect miracles:

Set the camera up on a tripod and let it do all the work.
