Nicely done <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

My attempt wasn't as successful <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />
I used my SMC Pentax-A 400mm f/5.6 with a 2x, but it was too hard to find focus, so those images were too blurry. I did some time lapse when the clouds came with only the 400mm, and then in a few shots you could see it through the clouds.

I made a hole in the bottom of a 1.75L milk carton and added several layers of film meant to be used for car windows. It worked so I didn't have to use a very small aperture. Looked weird though <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
