Eclipse images from Palm Cove
Although I was distracted by many things during this eclipse I did manage to captutre some images:
Palm Cove beach. I like the feel of this image. HDR Composite of two images. Canon 350D with 10 - 22mm @17mm, 1/8sec and 1/2sec @ 800ISO. Combined using Photomatix and Photoshop.
Corona Composite. This needs more tweaks. I have been REALLY impressed with the coronal composites posted in this section although many do not include prominences/chromosphere.
Televue 76mm (480mm FL, F6.3) Six exposures combined 1/8s, 1/30s and 1/125s all @ 400ISO; 1/250s @ 200ISO; 1/500s and 1/2000s @100 ISO. Combined in Photoshop using layer masks with hi pass filtering applied.
I was lucky to get this. Due to other commitments, I had no time to prepare for eclipse imaging and had to use the Eclipse Orchestrator script that I used at the 2010 eclipse which included a coronal sequence. I appear to have caught a sliver of cloud in the LHS of the image which seems to have been enhanced by the processing - it is visible in the original images.
Diamond Ring. Single image Televue 76mm (480mm FL, F6.3) 1/4000s @ 100ISO. I really like the prominences on this one.
