I found another halfway decent photo of the eclipse on the 20th. I don't think it is as good as the others, but it seems to have attracted some attention on Flickr, having made it into Flickr Explore.

I think I took about 80 photos of the eclipse up to just before totality. Then the cold ran me inside.
I wasn't happy with any of them, other than the one I posted earlier.
Just as totality was ending, I went back outside with the tripod, and took about 6 more photos. This was the best one I got.
I hope the next total eclipse, three years from now, occurs during warmer weather.

I'm not sure I will get out there during the eclipse. It is wickedly cold here tonight. I just wanted to test some camera settings to see how they would work. I took this without using a tripod.
I think it came out pretty well, so I might run back out later and take some more.

The eclipse was almost over.

I did. The first time was a long time ago. And I just passed again.

But, along with Steve at Modulator and Phil at Bad Astronomy, I wonder whether the authors could pass their own quiz.
