Also, how did you avoid the dew issue ? Or it wasn't a issue at all in the city.

I dont think I got a good focussed total eclipse snap. Will have to hunt through the shoot.
Thanks for the nice words.

To slow down the onset of the inevitable dew, I used the deep lens hoods of the telephoto lenses and the shallower lens hood of the wide-angle lens. In addition, I placed a thin, stiff foam mat over the top of the wide-angle lens to “shield” the lens from the sky above.

I used this device, Flare Buster, which fits in the camera hot shoe and provides you with a spring clip at the end of a flexible arm. Also, I used Live View x10 to manually focus the lens.

Photo details for #2 provided in the screen capture.

Cheers

Dennis
