Upcoming Lunar Eclipses - AM 16 June (TOMORROW) and 10-11 DECEMBER

[Analog6]

We have a lunar eclipse happening from about 5.20 AEST tomorrow morning. I will go just up the road where there are nice mountain silhouettes for a backdrop. I can take the van and sit in comfort with thermos of hot coffee and laptop.

And another one in on 10-11 DECEMBER - article here

I am planning to set up the camera in interval timing and see if I can collate a time lapse video. The the H2 lets you set it up for interval timing with up to 255 exposures. I'm going to do a 'test run' at moonrise tonight (I can set it up on my verandah facing east). Can someone suggest how long the interval should be? I thought I would make it Aperture priority on f8, ISO will be 100 or 200 (it's a noisy bugger).

I can choose Number of exposures, from 2 – 255; and Interval duration, from 1 second – 24 hours. 30 secs was suggested on IceinSpace which probably sounds about right.
