Attached Link: My collage of the eclipse

This photo was taken (as is the collage I posted) with the Sony DSC-717 5MP showing the partial eclipse as seen from South Africa (Leeudoringstad for those who want to get co-ordinates)  at 1/30 sec  f/8,  focal length 267mm,  07 September 2006, 08:52 pm

I plan to get an adaptor for my MEADE telescope (114mm) for the next event.

I know the quality is not comparable to decent SLR gear, but I am particularly proud of the results seeing I used a camera (CCD) known for the noise in these circumstances. I had to experiment and did everything manually until I was happy with the results. I turned off the AF as well.

It is a pity we don't see more entries in this thread, where were the other 10 members of RR? :huh:
