Some research by a member of another group found that there are something like 9 f stops difference between the full moon and the totally eclipsed moon.

Also, I recently got a Tokina 11-16mm and am wondering what are some good settings for landscape shots? I've not had the chance to try it out for astrophotos yet, so tomorrow would be my first attempt!
Any thoughts would be appreciated

If you mean daytime landscapes it behaves like any other wide angle lens. It is fast enough to hand hold at fairly low light levels.
After dark at 11mm you can shoot the sky for up to about 45sec without noticeable star trailing. At 16mm you'd do better to stick to 30sec.
If you were thinking of using the Tokina for part of the eclipse, the moon will make up a very small part of the image.
