Eclipse
Here in central Texas, the sun set before the eclipse hit maximum. But we had some lovely views of the moon gobbling up sunspots as the sun was setting over the lake. Photos are taken by a Canon G7 camera, using a modified version of the sun funnel for projection. The scope is an 8" F/4.5. For the first photo it was stopped down to about 3". The second photo I think used the full aperture.

ReplyDeleteToo cloudy here in Maryland, and too far geographically out of the way for the eclipse. Glad you had a good time catching some of it.
