    Default My pics of the eclipse

    At 2:00am on Sunday, after 3 hrs of sleep, we took off for Albuquerque to watch the eclipse. I took these pics thru the eyepiece of my 4" telescope with a white light solar filter on the end of it. I used a piece of $*!t Nikon Coolpics digital camera. Look closely at some of the pics and you will see some sunspots.


    Just after the start








    Annularity




    As the sun set, still eclipsed by the moon


    Then we packed up and drove home. I got home at 3:40, making for almost a 26 hr day. I feel totally hung over today, but it was completely worth it.

    Thanks for sharing, they're pretty darn great pics. It ended up being cloudy enough I didn't see anything here.

    those are as good or better than any others I've seen. It was too cloudy at my house to see any part of the specticle.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
