Nice shots Paul.. I got some afocal shots of my own, with my digicam.. Won't get time to process them until tomorrow or Tuesday, but they look ok so far.

You should process them more (sharpen etc), there's some good detail in those shots!

Nice work.

1ponders well done. You got a great photo. I spoilt mine, 125 speed but kept it constant throughout whole eclipse until peak time. You guy's took some excellent photos. i over exposed mine in the end, but it does show the "dimmer"area.

[Astroman]

WOW robin you should submit that to the AS&T or something. Actually everyone should they are all fantastic. Hopefully they put them in with my Videoed Saturn.

Nice Paul, much better :P and nice shot robin too.

I took this one of the moon at about 6pm when the eclipse was just starting. but I got some great shots with the local bats flying around.

[h0ughy]

also to hide a bad photo, distance is a great saviour, this one was taken at about 7.55pm
