Hello everyone,

I'm going to try a capture of the October 8th lunar eclipse. I've been pondering the best way to do things, but the dynamic range of the event is troublesome -- we will go from full moon to essentially no moon.

My best guess right now is to use QSLRdashboard in Holy Grail sunset mode and try to nurse it through the rough parts manually.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I would do so as well. You might try the "Reverse correction" feature that will basically allow you to keep the luminance in a certain bandwith. Opposite to the normal "Sunrise/Sunset" modes it will make adjustments in both directions, if necessary.
When shooting you should closely monitor the historgram and adjust the reference value if needed. This way you can stay in Auto-Holy-Grail mode all the time.

Awesome, thanks. I'll let you know how it goes!
