Sounds good--just remember the bit where they say "bracket lots of
film" and you're set to go. Excerpt from an email I got from
www.corvus.com :
>>>Exposure times on ISO 200 film should be 1/60 second for partial phases
at f/8, and 2 seconds at f/4 for the total phases. You may also photograph
the eclipse through your telescope. Exposure times will depend on the
exact setup of your equipment.<<<

Sad bit is that I got an email from the Physics dept asking me to return
the scope sonn because they need it. I asked if I could hold it till the
eclipse....
