Just in case anyone else is having this problem:
This will be my first attempt to shoot an eclipse with a digital camera so I set up today and shot several images using a Nikon D70 attached to a C-5 with f/5 telecompressor and off axis solar filter.
The pictures were nicely centered and focused but there was no color. Nice B&W shots.
Never had that problem with film... :)
So I pulled out the owners manual and found a page on color balancing. Happily once I adjust the balance for "full sunlight" the color returned.
Also, a suggestion: Charge your batteries (something I nearly forgot to do). Laptop, camera, telescope drive power pack, whatever. Get them all charged before heading south Saturday.
