Sunday turned out to be overcast and as the day went on it looked like it wasn’t going to be any better for the Supermoon Eclipse that was supposed to start around 8pm. Then around 7:30pm things started looking better and I decided to setup the GoPro on a tripod and see what I could do.
I’m still figuring out all the settings on this camera & as soon as I saw the results of the “NightLapse” I realized I had the camera set to medium vs narrow. In all fairness the GoPro is designed for a much closer subject & if I had to do it all again I would have used the trusty Nikon D2x to shoot a series of stills and stitch them together afterwards.
Here are the results both cropped and right out of the camera. I will say that the low-light performance of the GoPro is pretty impressive and I have a few ideas for some night shots in the near future. The Moon is blown out for the first half. I think I know what caused that.
