I've heard there is to be a complete Lunar Eclipse on this evening. Has anyone else heard anything? Possibly the time the event starts after sundown? I'll be using my D600 with the 150-500 Sigma, tripod and remote trigger.

I don't know about the rest of you, but on April 15th the moon may be darker, but my wallet will be lighter. :)

You're going to take photographs of complete darkness?
