[OzEclipse (Joe Cali)]

Hi
I have reworked the primary composite and added some other imagesof last weeks total eclipse.

Image number 1 composite-4f
Reworking of the composite. The one on the previous post was assembled quickly in Photoshop. Thanks to RickS for the heads up on the Larson-Sekanina filter algorithm in ChrisM's post. Now I know how you did that amazing image in 2012. I applied a pseudo-Larson-Sekanina filter in Photoshop, I don't have any astrophotography software with the filter built in. It has left a bit of a void in the inner corona.

Base images 11 exposures between 1/4000s and 1/4s in 1 stop intervals, William Optic M70, Pentax K5 ISO 100

This was part of a long series of 770 images at 2s intervals taken during the eclipse.
