A 25cm telescope, a D200, and Earth's shadow

[Gordon]

I took almost 3000 images of the eclipse, mostly with the D200, but including a few hundred fisheye lens shots with the D70. I've made a time lapse movie from about 1/15th of the images through the telescope (1030mm @ f/4.1) so far, but will eventually work on the rest to make a nice smooth time lapse.
I've scaled the images to appear as they did to my eye through the telescope.
Here is the result, for those not suffering eclipse overload already

That's pretty cool Gordon. I also like all the comet McNaught photos you have too.

Thanks all I've just added another animation there, 10.5mm fisheye + D70, just short exposures of the moon and telescope and the clouds early on... and me shining my LED torch around
