Shooting the Eclipse580 viewsMichelle Evans borrowed an 8" Meade LX-200 Schmidt-Cassegrain (large scope in center) from Space Camp Turkey for the eclipse, but it was for visual use only, no photography. Some photographers were content with cameras on tripods (right of center). Others didn't event bother with tripods.
