Does anybody know of a web site or formula or what ever to find out the sky coverage of a given camera lens.

Thanks

Joe

The Sky and other software will do this nicely. The Sky will show you the area of coverage.

Go get Covington's software--Exposure calculator I think it is called (download for free). Can't remember the link, but just do a search.

It will tell you all that and more.
