Absolutely; thanks go to Brad Dibble who added the audio to the slide presentation after its conversion to video. It is the Concerto For Piano & Orchestra No. 20 In D Minor: Romanza by W.A. Mozart, in case you wanted to know. It was used in the Amadeus soundtrack, towards the end of the movie.

My thoughts exactly, Peggy, that Devin and Scott arranged some of the pictures out of sequence. But those two kids did a wonderful job to whip up the slide presentation so shortly after the eclipse was over. I'm still in awe of those two, as well, of course, of the experience itself. Hope Roy will put something together for the 2012 eclipse.

As I observed the eclipse, the first diamond ring (start of totality, second contact) was in the lower left. The second (when sun was emerging from eclipse, third contact) was in the upper right, however some of the pictures are not oriented that way. The last picture of totality shows the man in the moon lit by earthshine, with the sun behind him! Some spectacular photos. Some great photographers on board!
