Imaging the partial lunar eclipse HELP

[Jen]

Hi guys im going to have a go at imaging the eclipse on the weekend for the first time If the clouds nick off
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
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
I have a cannon 500D
Any help will be very much appreciated thanks guys

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.

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.
