sunny f8 rule or partial/spot on the moon if you can fill the metering area with it
tripod isnt a big deal with the shutter speed youll probably have
problem is once its in eclipse mode the exposure will change and i dont have any experience with that but from samples ive seen, it looks like you could hit 1 second exposures so a tripod might help once its in full eclipse

I use spot metering with, I think if I recall properly, about +2 EV. Then let the auto exposure do the rest in Av mode.
*ED* Tripod will make the process much easier.

Also check your histogram and bracket exposures.

I used the same lens with a 1.4x teleconverter in this shot www.flickr.com/photos/todd_cliff/2281115082/

I was constantly changing my exposure settings as the eclipse was happening. Hope to put together a time lapse at some point. Here's one of my shots:
Taken with a 100m f/2.8 MACRO lens.

For the Grey Moon, I was using ISO 100, f11: Moon 1 (1/100), Moon 2(1/15). For the Red Moon, I was using ISO 800, f/5.6: Moon 3, 4 & 5 were in between 0.4 sec ~ 1.6 sec exposure time.

Thank you :D First attempt to shoot the moon! I'm better shooting the moon playing hearts I think...

San Francisco was foggy and hazy. This is the best of the shots that I got just before totality:
Yes, indeed, you should tremble at the sheer awesomeness of that image. Or not... I'm going with not. Totality was pretty much a complete blackout.
When I got home, though, the sky was fairly clear:
That image was really kinda sick. 5D, 70-200 f/4L IS, plus a 2x and a 1.4x teleconverter stacked on the back. Oh, and the 2x is a cheap POS that I picked up at Ritz Camera when I was having a photographic emergency. Quantaray is not the brand name I generally look for. I'm kind of appalled at the idea of taking several kilobucks worth of Canon's best gear, sticking it on Gitzo/Kirk support, and tossing a $75 teleconverter into the mix. It actually worked surprisingly well, though, and I've taken far worse pictures with allegedly better gear.

Are you using a UV filter? That can cause something like this:

Don't you get motion blur at 3 seconds? I've got star trails at 10 seconds and 300mm . . . .

I would have expected motion blur at 3 secs. I was typically shooting from 1/200 down to .5sec at f/8 down to f/5.6. I was using a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 with 2x Extender and spot metering.
Tripod is a must if you want any detail at all. I am guessing that all the really good detail shots are taken using a telescope rather than a lens?!

Most at 160 - 250, F8 - F11 The upper right image was 4 seconds @ F5.6 using a Canon 75 - 300 at 300. Not a great lens but it worked alright with mirror lock up.

Tonight (December 12), we will have Winter Solstice - the full moon rises as the sun sets.
Your exact time can be found on this website: aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.php
Edited to fix date (duh) and to add the following links:

It's also at perigee so will appear the biggest it has since 1993 (or so I heard on BBC Radio 2's Steve Wright show today, always a reliable source of astro info ;)
Should be handy for those not gifted with 1200mm L telescopes or teleconverters.

with a crappy lens i got this,
F11, spot metering, ISO 100, and 1/50 sec. exposure.
did pretty well, but i did have to use a tripod. when i tried hand held, it sucked.
since you have an L series lens, use the IS.
and look at getting your self a 1.4x or 2x converter. so you can get even closer.
one thing i noticed is that in live view and 10x magnification, it looked clearer than that.

winter solstice is the 21st - at least in the UK it is.

maybe this is what boldpuppy had in mind:
they were 41 minutes apart.
(I just happened to be there, accidentally, that's why the quality is extremely poor.)

That wasn't what I had in mind, but that's a great idea! (use manual mode to prevent the camera from changing exposures from frame to frame... I *keep on forgetting* to do that every time I try this shot...)

And of course it is the wettest cloudiest night in days in the UK over me which is depressing, Here's one i made earlier in the week to have a practice before the solstice.

f/8 1/125 mirror lockup tripod and 10 second timer so the camera has chance to settle after I pressed the button.

It's much easier to get things in the same general level of exposure right at moonrise...

Exposure: 0.05 sec (1/20)
