Thanks Wiliam - and thanks to others who have responded, especially Chuck,
who truly tipped me over the edge - assisted by the test shots I made of the
sun. Nicely exposed colour slides of a blue-white disc on a black
background, not really very picturesque! So enough of ambitious plans, I
may try to get some corona shots, but the rest of the time I will be
watching.
If it isn't cloudy.

Subject: [OM] Re: Solar eclipse photo advice
Hello Piers,
Good luck photographing the eclipse.
I tried to do the same in 1999 and went to Germany for it. I had the bad
luck of totally overcast weather during the whole process of the eclipse. We
could see about 30% coverage for about 20 seconds and that was about it for
the day :-(( I sincerely hope things will turn out better for you. So I am
sorry that I cannot give you any advice from my own experience. Operating
two photo and one video camera at the same time does seem a bit ambitious
though. I would not dare to try that.
Please let us know how things went for you.
Wiliam
