Yeah, I've got plenty of options.

I'll probably go fixed-focus Live View, which locks the mirror up, and use the remote shutter release.

I have a cinder block I can hang from the tripod with a bungee cord, too. 

Remote shutter release is nice...

Don't have one for the one I use, and  so far I've been too cheap to buy one. I just put it on the 2 second delay timer; by the time the shutter goes off the vibrations have damped down.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I remember that as well. We drove out into the far Milwaukee exurbs to get away from the worst of the light. It was January and freezing. I recall Mrs. Dual was my then girlfriend, and having trouble pointing it out to her until she backed her eyes off a bit and she realized it was about 1/3rd the length of the visible sky.

Maybe that was Hale-Bopp.  ???
Yep, I was working in central Wi (mosinee) at that time and seeing it clear as day on the way home from 2nd shift factory work- there isn'much light pollution up that way.
