I probably should get off my ass and do just that, there is lots of resolution, a bit too much really , 300 mb tiff file makes process a bore.

That would be those clouds, it is actually the correct sequence (time wise) however you are quite correct it looks a bit strange, i have swapped them around to see how it looks - see below

I like the curved arc - perhaps if it isn't going to be symmetric (level) you could start near the bottom left corner and arc up and across to near the top and then slightly down from the upper right?
nah, no more frames, it was past 1 by that stage and I was due for child duties at 6am...
A couple of different options below, i will also have a look at the suggestion compo

Did you use your $20 telescope adapter at any point?
no early in this equation, just late
its not early until you go to sleep.

these were taken with the 300mm f4 and TC1.7, typically at f6.7 or f8 and shutter around a second (for the full eclipse) with the iso as required upto 4000.

The Chinese believe that a dragon is taking a bite out of the moon....so they bang pots and pans and make lots of noise to frighten the dragon away. It always works and the moon returns unscathed thanks to their endeavors. Your challenge next time....is to photograph the dragon.

now about that dragon, i smell a challenge
A couple of variations on the theme..
