Hi folks, Here are three pics of the eclipse a good ham radio friend of mine
sent me from California.
You can actually see some Sunspots in these images. To put things into
perspective these little spots are bigger than the Earth. 

For you techies, the images were created using Stellarvue 80mm APO doublet
telescope, a Canon 20 D, a Thousand Oaks Solar Glass filter using Solar 2+
coating, a Baader Hyperion 13 mm eyepiece mounted om the camera, and all
mounted on a VIXEN Porta mount & tripod.

The camera was set for manual operation with the settings set at 200 ISO and
the shutter speed set at 1/250 sec. 

Hope you enjoy,
