    Missed the DVD at Astrofest, I’ll look out for it at Winchester.

    Here’s my video of totality through 70mm refractor in a field near Salem, Oregon. Used 550D, as you can see a mod’d camera, Univ retrospect a mistake but I wanted some nice red prominences. Everything else turned out red as well.

    Richard Fleet can be heard on audio as well as “Total Eclipse of the Heart'” blaring out on someone’s car stereo.

    Wish I’d met him.

    For those of you who do not want to make Murdoch any richer here is the obituary.

    Embarassed to post this very inferior image but I was pleased to capture it with only a 1 second exposure through a 70mm f6 refractor.

    No tracking available hence the short exposure.

    Observed from a windy hilltop on Jan 2nd. Camera was a 6D. Image has been cropped, Theta Capricorni is at top.
