If it was metering the whole sky then 30s isn't surprising :)

I forgot all about that.
That's probably a few photos wasted then!

You'll probably have some little star trails with the moon :D

Fuji Finepix S9600 at its full (built-in) telephoto range.
The images vary. Normal moonshot is at ISO 80 1/400 F8.
Obviously as the eclipse went on the light dropped, so I had to increase the exposure time until the final one was 30 seconds.
Basically I guessed and took a lot of shots!
I also did some adjustments in tattyshop to try to balance the contrast/brightness.
