Wedding photography gear #1: A mid to high-end DSLR. I cringe to write that a Canon Rebel or Nikon D3100 would not be suitable for a wedding. I know perfectly well that I could shoot a wedding with those cameras without any problem.
While other types of Lunar Eclipses can be viewed in wide regions of the earth the part of the eclipse that is Total is viewable is a much smaller region. The same can be said for the duration of the Eclipse.
One of the best places to view the eclipse will be the Faroe Isles, 200 miles (321km) off the north coast of Scotland, where the moon will cover about 98% of the sun. In the UK, the sun will be about 98% covered on the Isle of Lewis and about 97% on Shetland.
