Thanks Dan.
I'm not very happy with the FA 80-320/4.5-5.6 on the K-1 (nor on the
K5), but it has fairly good length for a moon shot.

Super Moon because it's close to perigee (appears about 7% larger).
Blue Moon because it's the second full moon in the month of January.
Blood Moon because it's going to be a total lunar eclipse.
It's a fairly rare thing for all three to occur during the same full
moon. The last time one was
I've given this a bit more thought and it seems to me you go to the same
place every time you go out to Hawaii. If that's true, might there be
someplace out there where you could store a tripod between visits?
Alternatively, you might consider shipping the tripod to where-ever you
are going
The news here called it a "super blue blood moon eclipse" because it'll be a
supermoon as well.
I can't be bothered trying to get photos of it.

Thanks, Larry and John!
I have already though about the bean bag approach, and even picked up some
dried peans to put in a bag. I also though of using the ir remote to fire
to shutter, to avoid shutter shake.
Years ago I framed the full moon between two palm trees, and I might try
that again.

How far are you from that volcano that you sometimes post images from

What i have done in the past is to use 2 polarizing filters and cross
polarize them. 1st one (closest to sun) must be a non circular type.
Done it this way as i am cheap and is all that i have.
Also good results can be had with a welding glass. How you mount it
however is entirely up to you.
Thanks John.

Mine is a Sigma 300mm F2.8 EX APO in Pentax KAF mount. It's the last of
their film lenses in that focal length, before they reformulated for
digital. It has a detachable lens hood that reverses when it's in its
case. Measuring across the outside of the lens hood it's 129mm.

John, I'm thinking of getting this too. Is yours for the A *300/2.8?
Thats what I'm going to use and haven't had a chance to measure the
outside diameter of the lens end.

Hmmm, let me think. Scores of highly skilled photographers from all over the
world will be shooting the eclipse, and their work will be displayed
everywhere. Should I drive 8 hours to add my undoubtedly less than stellar
image to the huge pile? Uh, no.

Ran across this map on Twisted Sifter. It gives average drive times from
locations in the U.S., Canada & Mexico to the center-line of the eclipse
