These are the pictures from my trip to Antalya this year. This was my second attempt at imaging a total eclipse, the first was Cornwall 1999 - which was clouded out! This was FIRST CONTACT, pic was taken using an ETX 70 with a Nikon coolpix 4500 used in eyepiece projection mode. An Astro Engineering Sol-Vu filter was used (I think these use Baader film) It was good to observe some sunspots as the sun had been blank in the few days before the eclipse. I have added the yellow tint in photoshop, as the filter gives a white image.
