We almost missed the most impressive moment and fortunately the sun came out from the cloud and gave us the impressive great show. This images combined multi-exposure from 1/1000 to 2s to render the details of whole Corona (one stop increment for each exposure).

Photo details: Canon 30D and EF-100-400mm lens at F11.

I was succesful to find a place to combine the great wall of China and the total solar eclipse in August 1, 2008. Here's a photo and a 3 min 30 sec YouTube clip (totality 0:41 - 1:33). In the right-hand-side tower there are several people watching and cheering.

Nail-biting experience in Yiwu, China, as the sun appeared from behind a small cloud, and gave us a spectacular total solar eclipse. One small streamer is apparent. You can see the worry in an eclipse-chaser's face. Eclipse photos through a Williams Optics 90 using a Nikon D3. These photos are totally unedited, submitted from Hami, China.

This was the first eclipse with my 8" telescope. Here in Germany are not the best conditions to see the moon covering the sun. The biggest occultation is only about 25 %. So I prepared everything for the sky show and took a lot of pictures to create this collage. Around the maximum I noticed a plane approaching the sun to pass right in front of it. It was only a piece of a second but really amazing.

"Dragon Eats Sun"... West of Yiwu China... the clouds almost prevented us from seeing the eclipse. Fisheye image from Nikon 5D camera with Sigma 8mm lens. (inset shows full resolution). Sand dunes in foreground. Patricia Reiff, Rice University, group leader of Group D, Ring of Fire Expeditions.
