Images #4 and #5 in the series taken by Bob Thompson.

Below: Image #4 - Here is another eclipse image taken with a much longer exposure and shows the corona quite well.

Below: Image #5 - Taken about 30 seconds after #4 By the way, the volcano on Montserrat erupted ash and steam about 20 minutes after totality. This shows the "diamond ring" effect just as the sun came back into view. The eclipse cruise was spectacular to say the least. I saw many things in the sky that I have never seen before. The boat, the islands, the weather, the eclipse were all great as were the people on board.
