I am, but only with my EOS 33, 70-200 and 1.4X TC. I have about 1/2 a roll of film left from ages ago that I may as well finish off.

My 1DmkII and 100-400L have gone back to Canon to be calibrated again... properly this time :cry:

battery charged, cards emptied, all ready

....and the clouds have JUST covered it!..looks like they're in for the night too :cry:

I am, but only with a 70-300 on a 350D...

clear at the moment around birmingham have a clear view of the moon so hopefully should get to see the eclipse realy well cool,,,:luxhello:

just been setting up my teliscope and been messing with my sony compac on the eye piece got some half ok shots

Ready with my new 5D , 2x TC and 100-400L lense :D

ready with 350D and 100-300 f4

Well it's on the move.... looking forward to seeing what some of the guys with larger glass can produce :)

Can't get a decent 25 sec exposure even with a 1.6 crop factor, 100-400 IS L and a Manfrotto majic arm, there is just too much movement when the shutter fires :(

Gone quite red now though

its a pumpkin!!

handheld Olympus E500. 150 (300mm equiv.) lens, 0.5sec /f4.5, ISO400

Well my tripod broke :( hand held ones are ok , but no long exposure

Best I can do. Using mirror lock, high ISO and low exposure compensation....best left to others :)

Best I could manage. Really need a remote shutter release, or IS lenses (but too pricey for me :( ).

350D, 70-200L, 0.5s shutter, F/4, ISO 1600, on a cheapish tripod, but out of about 20 odd shots, 2 that were anywhere near acceptable, and still not pin sharp.

I certainly didn't waste a few hours trying astrophotography :D

I've been playing in a concert tonight, so didn't have time to get the telescope out and cooled down before the eclipse (it had already started happening before I got home), so I had to make do with these instead. Canon 5D with a 100-400L lens on it...

Lovely Iain...

A couple of the shots I took of the event... also with 100-400mm, on a 350D, on a tripod for once, and with a delayed shutter.

Gone! (eclipsed it had a nice warm colour to it)

My memory card failed on me :cry::mad: but would have looked **** through a 200mm so not that bothered :D

You broke something Kev? That is a shock :lol1:

I actually lent it to someone at Port Vale FC so he could copy the pictures from Miss Stoke i'd just took to his laptop before i left. I will not be doing this again :mad: thankfully i'd already downloaded them to my Powerbook so you could say a PC broke it :p

I've never had any problems with CF cards on a PC, but I've had one screwed up by a Mac. Luckily I had already copied them onto my laptop otherwise I'd have lost the lot! :eek:

Bit of an odd one, Micordrive so not technically a CF card, but it was due to be replaced with a faster CF card sometime soon anyway so not too bothered, just glad it did it now rather than at a more critical time :D

Odd, that - I had a Microdrive scrambled when I borrowed a mate's 350D for a weekend. Once it had been formatted in the 350D, it wouldn't work in my 1D any more, but would still work in the 350D, and in my PC, and in my old D30.

some nice shots there guys!
i couldnt get my tiny tripod right and gave up :(
Will have to buy me a decent one.
