Imaging the partial lunar eclipse HELP

:hi::hi:
Hi guys im going to have a go at imaging the eclipse on the weekend for the first time :help: If the clouds nick off :rolleyes:
And i was wondering what settings i should have my cam on to do this?
And how many sec/times do i take them and should they be in raw etc...
There is just so many options :screwy::screwy:
Should i piggy back it on my scope or put it into the eyepiece?
Or should i just say bugger it and wait for all you lot to post your awsome pics :lol::lol:
I have a cannon 500D
Any help will be very much appreciated thanks guys :thumbsup:

All of the above.

My avatar is a handheld shot from a few years ago. I took dozens of shots that night and tried just about every setting on the camera. This was the one that worked:rofl:.

If the clouds go away go out tomorrow and friday and practise.

Forecast here is cloudy so I too am expecting lots of pretty pics from the team.
