Last Total Lunar Eclipse for 3 YEARS!

NO FLASH, I think the only thing they couldn't do was set a longer shutter speed to allow in more light, but I did bump up the exposure.

ROFL my first thought when I read the NO FLASH part was 'man that must be one powerful on camera flash to light the moon!' LOL Sorry I found that funny. I didn't even think about the pop up flash, I usually have mine turned off.

You wouldn't want a very long shutter speed anyways, much over 1/4 sec anyways. I was on manual and tried several settings just to see what they would do and if I got longer than 1/4 sec I tended to see blurring.

That's great that they were able to get some decent shots thanks to you. I don't think the actual camera matters, as long as it has some adjustments available (iso etc) and is on a tripod with self timer. I know many people think they have to have super expensive cameras to get good pix and that's just not true. A good understanding of the camera a person has and a decent tripod go a long way in taking good pix.
