Time for my attempt at the partial eclipse from yesterday.
I was really very lucky, there was only one large cloud that ruined about 5-10minutes of the eclipse, so I got most of it on camera. Literally 20 minutes after the eclipse finished, the sky turned black, the wind picked up and we had a storm! Our yard flooded over in 15 minutes. Talk about super lucky timing!
It was so strange seeing a big chunk missing in the Sun. Hard to believe that was caused by the Moon, which is normally such a familiar sight. It was also darn cool that you could see the roughness of the Moon - the craters - around the 'chunk'. So neat. I'll have to make sure I see a total solar eclipse sometime during my life.
Anyway, a grouped a few of the images I took together and attached them below. They're not super fantastic, and they're not properly aligned/rotated or anything. I'll work on them some more later.
I took them with my 10" Newtonian (on my dob mount, for ease) with my 400D. I used just a boring old solar filter, no detail on the Sun.
