Solar eclipse

Some images from the solar eclipse earlier this month. We were south of Palu in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

A wide angle sequence from just after sunrise through to about half an hour after totality when the battery ran out.
Canon 100D, Tokina 11-16mm @ 11mm, ISO 200. Partials with Baader solar film, 1/125 f/3.5. Totality 1/6 sec, no filter.
Note Venus at the top right and Mercury halfway between Venus and the eclipsed Sun.

A few partial phase shots and one of totality showing the impressive prominence visible that day.
Canon 70D on ST-80 telescope (400mm f/5). Partials 1/2000 ISO 200 with Baader solar film. Totality 1/8000 no filter.

Due to technical issues, I got very few corona shots so this is from 5 shots @ 1/250 sec. Same setup as above. No filter.
