This is just a quick and dirty first try composite from my efforts the other night attempting to capture the Full Lunar Eclipse. I will refine this and do a version with a foreground over the next week or so. The weather reports weren't good, as far as cloud cover went, so I was thinking I may not bother with it. The afternoon ended up being sunny and warmish with only the odd cloud here and there. I got my gear ready just in case. Sunset was just before 6:30 and after that I was checking the sky every half hour. Just around midnight I decided I would give it a go so I made some coffee and some sandwiches and headed off. So anyway, long story short, I had to brave the cold, the wind, a heavy dew, sea spray (the sea was quite rough and the tide was coming in fast) and quite a bit of cloud just after the full eclipse. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with this first attempt.

I'm going for it. Yeah, it's a superzoom that has all the typical traits of a superzoom, but that 20mm short end is too good to pass up. This lens has been rumored for a couple of years; I can't wait to get my hands on it. If it's any good I'll sell my 24-105, I don't need a fast lens for the planned use.
Help!
I am leaving for a safari in a few days and need help setting up my Sony a6000 for the best wildlife shots. I also have a Tamron 70-300 lens.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions for the best settings.
Thanks in advance.
