Re: Who else has admired the eclipse?

[David Dixon]

I too made the effort - here in Durham (N.E. England), we got a 
theoretical maximum of about 92% eclipsed at sun-rise.  For once, it was 
beautifully cloud free, but heavy haze meant that the sun slowly 
appeared a few minutes after sunrise, as a deep red, thin crescent.  My 
site was a few minutes walk from home, with the sun rising between the 
towers of Durham Cathedral - the same viewpoint as one of my PUG 
submissions:

Took photos with a Z1 and 300mm with and without one or two 2x 
teleconverters - no ND filters required due to the thick haze! 
Hopefully they'll come out better than my '99 attempts, when all my 
pics of totality were hugely underexposed ...

 So, any other reports? Did anyone succeed the ring-like sun shot?
