I noticed you use a variable polarizing filter as well. Very sensible thing to do! It often brings out details that seem too bright.

Well done Jeff; the details you drew in the umbra/penumbra are fantastic! I never thought of using a variable polarizing filter, brilliant!

Congrats on the VROD as well! :D
