Managed to dodge a few unexpected bands of clouds that played hide-and-seek with the Moon in the lead up to totality.
I used SNS HDR to blend a series of exposures ranging from 5 secs to 10 secs ISO400 to ISO800 and F8 to F11 to cover the brightness range and used the star field acquired 2 nights ago before the Moon muscled in on that region tonight.
Cheers
