    Those came out quite well, have you got a super long lens or did you crop them in? I had a look for my photos of the eclipse here a few years ago but I haven't found any pics of the whole holiday. It seems that most of the 'photos cupboard' is filled with grandchildren pics taken approximately one every 15 mins through their early years. I tried taking a photo of the moon with my phone a few weeks ago. It was rubbish, even fully zoomed in it was tiny. I don't think the pictures i took of the eclipse were any good from memory, a yacht at sea is not a stable platform.

    Edit: sorry for the grammatically challenged and rambling post.

    Jean-Pierre: I didn't take those photos. They were taken and posted by someone on Facebook. I need to confirm who that person is and credit them in my post for the photos. And I will go do that forthwith. I tried to snap images of the event here with my cellphone... unfortunately, they came out horrible


    Edit:
    I've updated my post with proper credit given for the spectacular eclipse photos.

    The pics you posted are wonderful. I have viewed many videos and I sure would of loved to see it as it was happening. To have a grand telescope and be able to look into the heavens and see the amazing sights must be awesome.

    Thanks for sharing them
