Fantastic! I wish I'd been able to get anything even remotely like that at
the eclipse of 1999.

 The only really dark filter I had was some #87 infrared filters that I
 bought for covering my flash when photographing IR.  I put one of those
 over the front of the bigma, and added a 2x teleconverter.  So, all I
 really got was a bunch of pink crescents.  I played with the exposure
 and saturation a bit in lightroom and you can sort of see the progress
 of the moon across the sun:

That's a, um, very rosy Sun, Larry. I think use of the Hue Corrector
(or whatever it's called) in Photoshop is in order. You'll have that
Sun looking nice n' yellow in no time.

Cheers,
