Please give details on the upcoming Lunar Eclipse, where and when you can see it.

Also, how best can I capture the reddish hue of the Moon; through an SLR camera mounted on an 8 inch scope, or just with SLR 50 mm lens and tripod?

My SLR camera is film, not CCD...

I Do Not really know what you are asking... Sry,

But i did like the question so,
I did a little searching , and found a page I really liked:
http://www.mreclipse.com/LEphoto/LEphoto.html

I don't know if it is of any help. Just my 2 Cents.
