I shot my first eclipse back in August so I'm no expert, but let me tell you - it''s not as easy as it looks!
1. Use the longest lens you have - the moon always appears smaller on film/sensor
2. Shoot wide open so you can see! It gets very hard to focus during the eclipse
2a. I used Aperture Priority to keep my lens at it's widest aperture and let the camera pick S/S
2b. My lens would focus slightly passed infinity, so I had to focus manually (not easy to do!)
3. Use a higher ISO to achieve a faster shutter - remember, the moon is a moving object

Here's a sample of what I was able to capture (PS'd of course)
