Duration of the Exposure
The table below is an example for standard exposure duration with use of ISO400 films.
If ISO 100 films are used, increase the value by 4 times.
(Unit: Second)
If ISO1600 films are used, decrease the value by a fourth.
Taking photos of a Lunar Eclipse
Duration of the exposure varies as the moon wanes and waxes during an eclipse. An
appropriate exposure in a certain phase of the eclipsed moon can be calculated by
multiplying a given exposure of the full moon by the value in the table below.
Example: If the appropriate exposure of the full moon is 1/60th seconds and you want to
take photos of a 60% waning moon, you can calculate as follows; 1/60 x 8 = 7.5
The appropriate exposure is about 1/8 seconds.
