Actually, I do have a clue to fixing alignment but it is time consuming.  I might give HDR a quick try with wider angle at the onset of the eclipse, using EV button to quickly alter shutter speed.  We will see.  At least, if clouds do not obscure everything, I did find a place in my drive to shoot the photos, so I do not have to find a desolate spot at 10PM to do the photos.

If you folks get some decent shots, perhaps we can start a thread to show those and share.      Tom.
