4Meg Powershot A80 afocally attached to a 55mm eyepiece using C11, ISO 200, 0.5sec exposure taken at 10:48pm, approx 5min before the totality end. The star to the right came very close to being occulted by the moon. Seeing was bad but at low magnifications it didn't matter. I've got 100s of images to check out and managed to capture the second half of the eclipse in 1min intervals, which should make for a decent movie. Quite a night

Regards,
Steve
