Harrington: "[I captured] this
photo montage of yesterday's eclipse with my 4-inch f/9.8
refractor and an Olympus D360-L digital camera. The other
photo is a double exposure of the eclipsed Sun placed within
a forest of snow-covered pines." |

M. Blackburn captured this image from Boise,
Idaho on December 25th, 2000 at approximately 9:35 a.m. local
time. Blackburn: "I used a Canon PowerShot S10 set on manual
so the camera would not flash. The photo was taken hand held

E. Gnam (physics teacher, Edgewood High School,
Madison, WI): "My pictures were taken with a digital camera
with no special settings. Both pictures are projections through
binoculars. It's amazing how
big a projection you can get with the sun as a light source!" |

Tom Warner: "Clouds threatened to cancel
the show as viewed from Rapid City, South Dakota. However, the
clouds gradually broke and allowed me to take these images. I
used a Televue Pronto telescope, Televue eyepieces, Thousand
Oaks solar filter and Nikon Coolpix 950 set up for eyepiece projection." |

method of viewing the eclipse!" |

Max Riseman,
Portland, ME |

This picture is unremarkable except for one thing:
Max Riseman used two blank "blue on silver" CD-Rs (Compact
Disc Recordable) as makeshift solar filters for his Kodak DC280
camera. "I actually took two sets of pix, one with one CD-R,
and another set through two CD-Rs. Using one disc was not enough,"
says Riseman. |

S. Griswold: "I captured the multiple-image
shot indoors through a window using pinhole projection before
mid-eclipse. The other
shot was taken with an Epson PhotoPC 800 digital camera held
to one lens on a pair of binoculars while using the other lens
to locate the sun. Both lenses were covered with Solar Skreen
filter. " |

continuously here in southeast Texas, but I patiently waited
for small breaks in the clouds and snapped this photo between
11:00 AM - 11:30 AM." Photo details: Exposure: 1/500 second

K. Burns: "My
setup was rather primitive, but it worked. I used a pair
of tripod-mounted 8x56 binoculars and built a cardboard viewing
box. Attached to the front of the binoculars was a two hole punched
piece of cardboard thus the two
images present. I took pictures using a Kodak DC 210 digital
camera." |

Jay Edwards: "Because of snow showers and
-23 degree wind chill factor we decided to keep it simple. We
shot [the eclipse] using my 80 MM, f/5 refractor, with a 25 mm
eyepiece and Panasonic camcorder in afocal mode. Although it's
not visible in this camcorder shot, there was a very long sunspot
chain near the center of the disk that made for a beautiful view
visually!" |
