Hi everyone,
If everything goes as planned I'll be in Egypt during the total solar eclips, and hopefully it's going to be my third view of the corona. I tried to capture the awesome sight that I saw during totality through my binoculars, and the final result of the Zambian 2001 eclips is getting pretty close to what I can remember:

12 exposures ranging from a 1/1000s upto 2s through a C90 @ f/10 and Kodak Ektachrome 100 ISO slide film. The mount was pretty wobbly and caused unsharpness in the prominences and the edge of the moon. Note the lunar maria.
Next year I'm going to use my D70 to capture totality and hopefully get an even better shot.
Cheers,
