and the 10 min sequence from the 2nd camera....

http://www.devilgas.com/astro/annula...2005-10-03.jpg

sequence was started at first contact rather than from a calculation of when
the perfect annulus would be seen. consequently, the sequence is 'out' by
about 2 mins (should've started it 2 mins earlier than i did). didn't think
it was too bad for a first attempt though.
got pretty lucky with the lens coverage. widest i had was the 28-200 zoom.
hadn't calculated anything to do with frame coverage etc etc. what is seen
above is literally just a resized version of the original. no cropping etc
etc.

in retrospect, i should've shot these every 5 mins, but you live and learn.
i was just happy it wasn't all cloud as it was on the sunday......
