The Moon would be at the summer solstice to be exactly opposite the Sun and in the Earth's shadow. That would put it at RA 6 hours and DEC +23 1/2 degrees.

I won't do your homework for you, but I don't have a problem pointing you in the right direction.
You should be aware that for the moon to be eclipsed, it must be full (or very close to full) which means it must be on the opposite side of the earth than the sun. The moon must also be close to the ecliptic. Start with that and see where it takes you.
