Me and a friend are going to take in the 10 o'clock early show a little to the north of San Antonio, Texas. I'll be taking either some 800 speed Kodak or Fuji, depending on what's in the bag. Also, a tripod, the ZX-5n w/remote cable, FA 24/2, FA 35/2, A 50/1.7, and the FA 77/1.8--trying to cover my bases in case the moon is putting out too much light for the wider angles.

My friend will be taking his Oly 3030 digital.

Followup:

I had a great time, draining a thermos of coffee and bullsh*tting with my bud. Astronomically, however, the night was a bit of a bust. I did see two faint meteorites but, between the intensely bright moon and the high, patchy cloud cover, conditions were less than optimal.
