I am going to attempt to photograph this event from south florida, weather permitting, tomorrow evening. I would like some recommendations as to I might best accomplish this with my given equiptment:

Traveler or Miniborg 50, STL4020, astrodon LRGB filters

1) What exposure time? 2) Which filters? 3) Is it possible to show pleiades nebulosity without total lunar blur-out-maybe via mosaic? 4)Traveler or Miniborg?
5) Any other issues I have not mentioned?

Down here the occultation gets started around 6:30 am EST. I appreciate any help or references. Thanks, Joe
