Nice photos. Here's one of my photos that I managed to squeeze off between the cloud mass. Basically, the moon seemed to disappear from where I was and/or am right now.

Wow, those are all great, guys. What cameras/lenses were you using?

Unfortunately it was either foggy or cloudy here, so I didn't even see most of the eclipse. Here's one so-so shot that I took as the shadow was receding. Olympus E-3, 40-150mm lens.

Yeah, you need something like a 400 for these shots... not in my arsenal!

I used a 70-200mm with a 1.7 TC. Still short so I cropped the photo. Perhaps, a window shot out of a jet would have been better. ;)

I apologize for not getting it sharp ... lens just couldn't get there.

Here's another photo. However, this photo also comes with clouds and is uncropped--of all the times for the rain and clouds to move in.

Hope this works...I'm a first timer and I didn't really do any editing (only 'cause I don't know what I'm doing :) If anyone has any hints, that would be great.

I like this one! The clouds make a nice effect and gives a certain mood to the picture, I think.

BTW - what's that little red dot close to the bottom of the picture? Have you got a hot pixel on the sensor, maybe?
