There will be a Lunar Eclipse on the Wednesday night, if you want to practice your moon shot skills; that will be a unique event to record.

I took these through my telescope. The first one is false color, and I can't remember what I did to the camera to make it do that.

Here you go. I took this one at about 10:30 at my in laws a few months ago. Yes, that's the moon behind the trees, and those are stars in the sky. It's a 30 sec. exp., so the clouds have a motion blur.

Cougardoc, are you using the Rebel Xt? That's the same one I use (8.1) with the stock 18-55mm EF-S.

I have the same camera, are you using the auto setting or manual?
I usually use the auto setting and mostly take pics of cars:burnout: :D

It depends. Long exposure shots can only be done in manual mode, and you have to play with ISO and EXP settings to get it right, but for day to day pictures I use the Auto setting. The problem is the thing is flash happy in auto mode, so if I'm trying to capture true colour, I use manual.

Oh, and a tripod is an awesome thing.
