Description

This is an HDR composite of 14 images spaced 1 stop apart. 

I'm not a big fan of it, it looks overprocessed to me.  I had a high altitude cloud layer that obscured the details significantly.  I could detect no Earthshine in any of the exposures.  I honestly didnt think I would be able to isolate the corona from the clouds, but with significant data manipulation I was able to make something out of it. 

It was a remarkable experience, and I was able to get the Diamond Ring and Bailey's Beads.  I also was able to view it through a stowaway and share the experience with my family.  While this eclipse passed directly over my house, I can now understand why people travel hundreds and thousands of miles to witness this.
