One more, a 30 image stack (finally got the CPU power to handle this...as each file was 6MP RAW, and my little netbook just died when I tried it) of totality. 90 seconds worth of images.

Stacked in Registax 5, post processing in CS2

Excellent images Nick, the processing is coming in now and boy it certainly makes a difference. I am curious if you recall anybody seeing shadow bands during the eclipse?

[NickH]

Not shadow bands, we did see the Moon shadow approaching, which was truly spooky.amazing, and lots of pinhole eclipses courtesy of the trees

[David Galvin]

Perhaps even thin cloud would be enough to loose the shadow bands, a particular favourite of mine, but at least you saw the lunar shadow which is an an amazing site. I will have to dig out the videos of previous trips and reminisce.

Keep the images coming Nick, I love to see the 'crowd' shots.

It sadly did where we were...still could have been worse, we could have been on a boat in the Soyth China Sea...praying...
