Steven, those are very impressive images...and handheld!! - fantastic.

Congrats Paul on your SW and BBC appearance. No problem sorting out the image on the forum. John got the image, sent it to me, and I got it on. Lovely image to.

John, your image is a beauty to.

Here's a few of mine. Not great I know. I put a holder covered in baader solar filter over my camera's 300mm lens. I had serious problems getting focused due to intense sunlight. First image is a crop and the rest are at prime focus. Took loads of images and video (sorting it out now). It was the perfect eclipse. I was very pleased with the show. I did alot of visual observing using the ETX. Seen the bite easily with the naked eye because the clouds acted as perfect drfiting filters.
