Sequence of images by Kos Coronaios, showing the progress of the Moon over the solar limb, as seen from Louis Trichardt.
Moments before the end of the eclipse, Kos Coronaios of Louis Trichardt captured this charming view, showing a sliver of the lunar disk, with a beautiful sunspot group nearby.
Hannes Pieterse (Bloemfontein, South Africa) used a Canon 30D with a Baader Solar Photo filter to image the eclipse around 07:30 in the morning. The lens had an effective focal length of 480mm, and the exposure was 1/1000 at f/25 (ISO 100).
From Greece, Chris Kotsiopoulos imaged the eclipse, catching the Sun from a vantage point 2km south-west of the Temple of Poseidon seen in the foreground. Chris and Anthony Ayiomamitis carefully selected the viewing point in preparation for the eclipse, but Anthony didn't make it in time - a traffic accident on the highway delayed his arrival.
Chris Kotsiopoulos caught the edge of the Moon, and sunspot group No 1040, on Monday morning. For more of Chris' images, see his website http://www.greeksky.gr
Herman Bonnet of Bloemfontein captured the eclipse using a Canon 400D attached to a Williams Optics Zenithstar 80mm refractor.
