Really cool!! We had cloud cover. I checked several times over night.
That was beautiful, John...My camera fell on the deck trying to move it backward...Don't know if I harm it or not so I used my D90 today instead for my stinky bug...
John,
Very nice.
Very good John, you were lucky to have a clear sky for the sequence.
Well, done, John! I would have loved to stay up for it, but had a meeting in the am that I had to be fresh for... Rotten timing for me, but glad someone was able to capture it for us!
That's way cool. Nice job.
Really nice. Thanks for sharing.
Great concept but I have to ask why the moon on the far right is so blurry, unlike all the other moons in the sequence.
Great images John,well done bud!
Thank you all for the comments.
Mike, the right most image is a not as sharp as the other due to two issues - this image was shot at the highest iso for my camera (12800), and I believe I accidentally nudged the focus ring on the lens when I took the shot. The noise reduction softens the image, and being slightly off focus does not help anything. Lessons learned for me, and I'll see what I can do to fix these for the next eclipse in October.
Great set of images, John. It was too cloudy to get a beginning sequence but could have gotten the "after" sequence if I could have stayed up but at my age (I'm old) I need my rest plus I am fighting a cold.
My old 1DsIII only goes to ISO 1600 which was a real limitation. Might be time to upgrade to a modern body. You have good sharpness in those images except for the last one. I make mistakes like that more often than I like to admit.

Very nice indeed
I am away and missed it entirely. Thanks for sharing great images of the sequence.
