Took some videos in raw during the lunar eclipse.  Mostly with fps between 1 and 15 fps to adjust for light conditions, iso between 100 and 6400.  Original video with cropped 3X zoom at 2880 x 1320 pixels.  Used raw histogram to monitor over exposure.  Also used dual iso in some videos but proffered to use raw video due to higher resolution.

Equipment used:
Canon 5D M3
Canon 100-400 II
Canon 1.4x Extender
Some takes with additional kenko 2x extender.

Tripod:
Old equatorial mount powered with a tiny 9v battery (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/546195-REG/Celestron_93514_Astromaster_Motor_Drive.html).  I was amazed that this motor could carry my camera and lens following the moon.
