Getting ready for Next Week

These last two weekends I've been getting my setup ready for imaging the eclipse. I will be on Marblehead so I'm only going to get the 92% version. I "dusted off" my Williams Optics 81 mm triplet that I've used for the previous solar and lunar eclipse. I imaged with my 4Ti DSLR and the solar filter is just a simple Astrozap. Attached are two examples from last week (a bit hazy) and yesterday with some minor Photoshop processing. I took a number of images at different ISO and exposure setting and ended up setting the DSLR for ISO100 and 1/4000 sec with the full Sun. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Barry
