Thanks for the compliments Rob and Grahm. It was a good challenge and a lot of fun.
I shot continuously (every 20 seconds) from midnight till 6 am. The tricky part was adjusting the exposure time every 15-30 minutes to keep up with the eclipse. Observing during that hour or so of totallity was surreal. Looking forward to 2014.
