Photographing tonight's lunar eclipse - camera settings?

[MrBond]

It looks like we might have a clear night here afterall, so I'd like to get some photos of the lunar eclipse with my s602 Zoom.

What settings should I try for shutter speed, f-stop, etc? I've found some stuff on NASA's page, but it doesn't really help. I'd like to get a few shots of just the moon (not multiple exposures or streaks).

Edit: Nevermind, found a really handy chart here

We had pretty poor conditions here in the UK

So I am glad I didn't set my alarm in the night to get up and watch it!!

If anyone has any pics or links to pics, post up!

I got some 3mp shots, but they werent very good. it was too small in the viewfinder, i needed to get the film slr and the telephoto lense, but by the time I realized that, it was too late

I tried with my A40...but I don't have a tripod, and I can't hold it still enough for a long exposure
