Some unsharp, gritty images of the feb 21 2008 eclipse...and a satellite

Nikon D40x, 1600 ISO, 1/250s to 1s, f/2.8 to f/8, manual-focus 105mm f/1.8 Nikkor with 2x teleconverter, totaling 210mm focal length. The unsharpness and chromatic aberration is caused by the "out of touch" TC.
 
Note the satellite in the upper right corner of the images where the Moon is not centered, and the smaller, dim, red body to the lower right of the Moon.
