Here's a composite of eighteen images, starting at 4:47 and ending at 5:58. I used my Canon PowerShot A620 with 1.75x teleconverter, mounted on a tripod. Exposures ranged from 1/640 second to two seconds, all at an effective f/7.2. I used Paint Shop Pro version 8.0 to assemble the composite.

Hope you all got to see the show, it sure was purdy!

Doug,

I really like how your pics capture the blue rim beyond the shadow just before totality. This was something I observed visually with my 20x80 binos, truly awesome! Unfortunately, I was unable to capture this with my camera.
