In any event if anyone is interested in the script, here it is. On the C3-4 time I'm again shooting a burst for Baily's beads and a slightly shorter exposure for the exiting diamond rings. I have setup the Corona shots to work through 1/3 stops and fill the entire time period. Hopefully the timing and predictions work out and I catch something good in the bursts (using a small usb GPS reader to control the mac's clock). I'm running through Diamond ring shots, then Baily's Beads with an additional burst at a slightly longer exposure as it gets close to dissipating, and for the last possible Baily's bead in a Diamond Ring type image I have a burst shooting 3 frames at a longer exposure right as it ends.

My plan for the telescope and SEM automation is a full Solar filtered shot pre C1 and post C4, a few partial shots and finally a filtered partial just before C2. I'll be near Saint Joseph's Missouri and should have about 2'35' of totality. I'm also putting my Gopro on the hotshoe of the 6D and let it capture the scene. I'm also going to setup my Canon 6D with a Rokinon 14mm at F4 and let it shoot away on Av with an intervalometer at 5 minute intervals and just prior to totality- I'm going to set it to take a picture every 2 seconds through totality for a possible overall timelapse. I'm using a Williams optics Zenith Star 61 F5.9 on a tracking mount.

This is for a Canon 7D with an Extreme PRO (160mb/s) 32 GB CF card. Finally tweaked and played until I am content with the script and know that it works after many test runs.
