Love the sequence. How kind of Sol to produce a massive sunspot on the day.

Yes Frank, the big spot was a nice kicker, in 2012, there were only small spots during the partial eclipse:

Thanks, The towels are to shade and cool the cameras else they get very very hot. The main camera was the Canon 5D2 with 100-400 mm lens and thousand oaks glass solar filter, all these eclipse images are from this camera. The other camera is the Canon 7D with 70-200mm and DIY baader mylar filter. They also shade the lcd for live view and image review.

All very nice Tony . Nice setups too ! Where did you get the filter holder for 70-200mm ? Do you use ND filters a lot with this bracket ? That Solar filter for the 100-400mm is very nice also .

No I just meant do you use ND filters often in your regular photography ? That actually looks like a nice ND set .

BTW Tony if I were you I would try to get the Mods to put this back into the regular astronomy section instead of the Talk section . You are producing images so the Talk section is the wrong place , it needs to be seen and commented on and it will get more in the Regular astronomy section .
