Details:
1st image at 13:07 UT from Luxembourg using a 10x50 binocular with a Nikon D7000 DSLR with a 85 mmp lens, mode afocal, and Baader ND5 filter. I wanted to test this small config before using a larger scope. No easy to focus but the Nikon worked perfectly in manual mode. I am positively surprised.
2d image at 13:38 UT using a C5 SE with a 19 mm eyepiece (66x) with a Nikon D7000 body.
