Thanks Paul. Won a bust of Galileo (or is it John Sarkissian) that year
What I found was *really* important was to use a lens/telescope that had few internal reflections.
The Diamond ring phase has a vast dynamic range, the last bits of photosphere will wreak reflection havoc on many camera lenses.
I took a good number of images of mercury street lights prior to the eclipse, checking for sharpness, reflections, colour correction, halos etc.
The little Megrez with simple but well corrected optics blitzed most of my lenses at the time. Sunspots were resolved quite well in the full-res data.
Not sure what I'll use this year...cameras have certainly improved so I'm hoping for significantly better resolution and lower noise.
