I remember back when I was taking photos of the first Man on the
moon, plus some things from the National Geographic special on the
human body, I can tell you some things about photographing the tube.
The best camera to use is one with a variable shutter speed and a
leaf type shutter.  This lets out most SLR's which have a focal
plane shutter.  Most 35mm rangefinders are OK.  Set the shutter
speed to 1/30.  This means a tripod or some other method of holding
the camera and using a remote shutter release.  Darken the room
to avoid glare.  Unless you freeze frame is really stable (and most
are not, I would suggest just shooting the picture while the player
is running.
