Very cool!
I like the sunset shot :-)

Looks like you had clear weather for the eclipse.

I went out and watched, didn't take the camera though

Thank you GT it was a lot of work but it was a blast up on Figueroa Mt.
There was only 2 couples up there for a romantic night. But of course in middle phase I could see Orion Nebula so I shot it too.

Nice shots. Is the 1000 mm a mirror lens?

Thank you astroturf
Yes it is a Russia Mirror Lens, it's built like a T-34 Tank. No way I could afford a 1000mm Prime!!! :cry: :cry:

Looks like the beginning of the end of the eclipse on your blood shot.

Nice shots and which beach for your sunrise?
My bad, not a beach?
That's pretty nice as well.

Yes my blood shot is after the total eclipse. I thought I'd do different shots than everyone else.
The sunset is fog over Gaviota Beach near Santa Barbara, from a 4200 ft Mt. I shot it during my set-up.
And here is the sunrise from the same Mt top.

PS: That shot came out with really muted colors.
