I may have a chance to try and get some eclipse photos with an experienced non-astro photographer friend. Do ya'll have any tips for getting decent photos of the upcoming early morning lunar eclipse from the eastern time zone?
Equipment at hand can include excellent 35mm digital SLRs, 35mm film SLRs, telephoto lenses, a small digital camera, a universal digital camera adapter, an 8-inch dob, a 4-inch refractor, and a 70mm refractor. We don't have a T-adapter or T-ring. My photographer friend can handle any information you have on recommended exposure times, f-stops, and film speeds.
I'm looking for tips for how we can take decent moon pictures without a telescope just using telephoto lenses and tripods and using landscape as backdrops to shooting through a telescope.
I don't know that shooting with a full-sized camera will work when all I've got is http://www.buytelescopes.com/product.asp?t=&pid=9238&m=
Thanks.

I have several telescopes, but none are semi-APO, APO, or in anyway valuable.
