Partial Solar eclipse from Mackay

Stayed home for this one since I have a fairly low horizon in this direction.

Meade 4" F8 achro refractor, Orion glass solar filter, 1/20th second at ISO 100, Pentax K-x and one with clouds and tree using an ED80.

Nice shots Kevin, and the weather came good for us again . I really need to get some of that orange filter material, mine are all the white light type. I think that an orange sun looks much better on the screen

Thanks Paul, Andrew and Rick.

Rick, Bintel have the Orion filters. They seem pretty good and give a natural colour. And yeah the weather has been kind to us for the last couple of eclipses. Cloudy again now though, as usual.
