Many thanks.
I used a 500mm prime with a 1.4x converter, giving me a focal length of 700mm (obviously).
This gave me an image where the solar/moon diameter covered about 25% of the frame (height-wise). I toyed with using a 2x but decided against it for a range of reasons.
There are so many different things to try to photograph. On this occasion I decided to not go for a very wide range of exposures to capture the corona. I was more interested in particular details at second & third contacts (start & end of totality), and capturing a sequence across the whole of the partial phases.
I would post the sequence montage, that I put together, here but even at its lowest definition it is still a large JPG (but can be seen via the FLICKR link for the individual images though).
Regards
Paul
