This is no ordinary "spectacular-corona-during-a-total eclipse" photo. Look carefully at the Moon. There, in faint outline, are the dark seas and bright highlands we usually see when the Moon is full. How is that possible? Simple: Earthshine. During an eclipse, the supposedly dark New Moon is illuminated by sunlight reflected from Earth. King captured the corona and Earthshine in the same image by carefully combining 10 different exposures: Canon 300D and Canon 100-400mm L lens, 2x Extender

As in Nick King's image, above, this picture from Pete Lawrence shows the faint outlines of the Moon's seas and highlands. "At the time of a solar eclipse, the Sun is blocked out and the faint Earth-lit Moon can be coaxed out of the silhouette with a bit of processing," says Lawrence.

Details: Skywatcher 80ED Pro refractor with a Meade 0.63 focal reducer and a Canon 10D DSLR. Two images combined - 1/20s and 1/3s both working at ISO800.

The total solar eclipse 2006. A fantastic experience! Photo details: Canon EOS20D with 600mm lens. 400 ISO.

The morning was heavily overcast with clouds, but a couple of fleeting glimpses of the eclipse yielded some direct hand-held snaps. Photo details: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5, 1/2000 sec - f/8.

We were very excited during the solar eclipse in our country. And the silueth of our telescope provided me an interesting image. These images were taken by Canon Powershot A70.

You don't need to have only an expensive telescope to take a picture of sun in eclipse...a simple glass for welding a digital camera 80 asa 1/750s Kodak camera....... Projection of solar disc with a 70/700 refractor, 15x magnification .

Our family is traveling around the world for seven months. During the eclipse we were traveling by train from Milan, Italy to Geneva, Switzerland. This picture was taken just after the train left Milan. We used a simple pin-hole camera made out of two pieces of cardboard to watch the eclipse safely. The train was traveling northward, so we had to wait for curves in the track before sunlight entered the train. Read more about this at Michael's blog site http://www.travelingmichael.com/ .
