Day 1 of CNY - Solar Eclipse!

Post by ykchia »

Hi folks:

Didnt really plan for the eclipse but last minute decided why not? In the end managed to have a slice of the beginning eclipse but clouds came in towards later part.

Next time must clear the vowels before such a big event, hence the missing first contact. [smilie=embarrassed2.gif]

Hi,
The Sun hide into the cloud just at the later part of the Solar eclipse, so only got the first part. Below is a solar eclipse animated gif created from the photo I took:

Have a nice day.

The day of the eclipse was plag by cloudy sky.As such,I decided to shot it in Ha so that sharper images can be obtained.To illustrate the power of such 0.7A bandwidth filter,here is a photo of a average size prominences I photo today-28Jan09-Thanks for watching.(moderator-please do whatever you can to make the photo visible as mine is a 7 yrs old computer and always photo dont show-thanks).
