OK a few questions here,

1. by switching the mount to track in lunar, that will that track the moon and give you star trails with longer exposures for totality, say F10 scope iso 400 or slower?

2. Under partial conditions what do you aim for - the bright section to focus or the "dark section"?

3. What part of the moon is best to focus on, the middle or the edge? Would this change throughout the eclipse?

gee I have taken the pills this morning!!

4. Now for a newbie to autoguiding - can you autoguide on the moon? don't laugh this is serious!!!!!

5. How would you "white balance" A modded DSLR for lunar shots?

6. How many will be throwing nearly all their entire imaging arsenal behind imaging this event?
