Hi,
I went with the 600mm mirror lens and Baadar Solar Film. Up until 5 minutes before the eclipse I had a really big gap in the clouds (as seen in picture 1). As it started though, the clouds started getting in the way. Crap shots from there on.
Oh well, it was my first solar eclipse and I enjoyed it

.
Pentax *ist DS @ 600mm with Baadar Solar Film and varying shutter speeds (depending on how much cloud). Colour was added in PS via Photo Filter.
Regards
Daniel...
