Thank you for the encouraging words, Gerry and Aram. And that?s a nice 
capture of the inner corona and prominences, Aram.

I?ve done some Photoshopping to enhance the detail and extent of the 
extended corona image that I posted earlier, and I?m quite happy with the 
result, especially viewed LARGE! It?s added to the album here 
<http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/hlritter/Eclipse/CorExtPSraw.jpg.html>.

I?ve never been an eclipse chaser in 60 years of being an amateur 
astronomer, but I am now. I have my sights set on a tour to Chile in 2019 to 
see the eclipse and visit some of the Andean observatories, among the 
cathedrals of astronomy, and if I retain enough brain cells by then to 
appreciate it, the 2024 U.S. eclipse. Hope to see both of you at one or the 
other!
