Im looking to get some pictures of the Half moon tonight, using a 8" 2000mm f/l with an Olympus OM-1 (slr) camera, using Eyepiece projection (10mm and 20mm eyepieces). I was wondering waht would be some good exposure times to use. Please reply ASAP because its already dark!

Need more details.

Your exposure would depend on what size eyepiece you are using for the projection, the speed of your film, How far the eyepiece is from the focal plane, what part of the moon you want to capture, the clarity of your air, and a few other things.

Set your camera at 1/250, and then take an exposure from there to 1 second, at every click of the shutter speed.

Take notes. Film is cheap. Experience costs.
