Very nice result from a camera lens and EFL of 420mm, Howard. Especially 
hand-held.

I?ll be picturing it with a Nikkor 80-400 zoom. Unfortunately, I?m stuck in 
Ohio under 8? of fresh snow that fell over the last 24h, and tomorrow 
night?s temps will be 0? F or below by mid-eclipse just after midnight EST. 
Setting up a tripod would involve shoveling snow, so I?m going to do what I 
can hand-held at high ISO with a fast shutter.

My 1085mm FL, 155mm f/7 apo refractor, of course, is spending the winter in 
Florida. I?m going to join it 6 days too late.
