Hi Folks.
Ok so can anyone please explain why a 1500 frame rate was needed? Obviously not for the exposure as 1/1500th of a second is pretty fast!
Is it the transit across the sky? Plenty of people capture it with normal gear!
Was it simply the time it took to pass in front of the moon? I know it is moving pretty fast, but from memory of watching it a while ago and visualising it passing across a moon sized distance I'm thinking there was a second or so?
Some one please enlighten me.
Cheers, Graham.

Wow, timing that would be amazing, not to mention actually capturing it. A very well planned event, or just luck? I don't think it was luck, but with many tens of thousands of photographers, it might be inevitable that some got the photo.
Joel Kowsky is a NASA photographer and he used a special 1500fps high speed camera, definitely planned for this one!
