Nothing escapes Agfa film	Meade ETX at F13.6 with a Yashica FX3 Super Through the haze, it was hard to get corona... even with a couple of seconds exposure.
Nothing escapes Agfa film	Minolta XG1 - 7.4 mm F/4. This is a LARGE, no, it's HUGE!, version (2.01 Meg) and takes a few moments to load, but you can see the eclipse cutting through the cloud bank. Also, quite a number of stars can be seen?(or they just dust motes on the film). I will add details as time permits.
