I'm back now! Amazing time, China is a fabulous place - I have over 1500 photos and a camera full of video to deal with, some of which of course will appear here.
But for now, here is the last frame before totality, taken at 0932 local, and the first after at 0942. Totality ran from 0934 to 0940. Frames either side were all much better than these two, but in spite of searching frantically there was no totality visible from our location
0932
0942
0948 - This, I promise you, is not Photoshop (apart from mild cropping), it's really what happened!
I should add that these are all cropped and processed. All taken with a Sony A700 DSLR with 400mm f6.3 MF lens which has the useful feature that a full twist to the right sets it to an accurate infinty focus!
