Partial Eclipse March 20, 2015

Used my Makowsky 800mm Schiefspiegler (with iris) and two stacked ND filters.
Sunny but moving clouds, so not totally perfect... but at least some solar spots
got visible and some moon mountains (I guess).

I love shooting these things - but didn't realize there was an eclipse until I saw everyones Instagram posts today. Too late LOL.

Nice shots. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, we were lucky here, weather was so much better than forecast (always is actually) ;-)

Hi Klaus,

That's because it was much worse at my location than forecast. We got your your lousy weather, so you could get better viewing conditions ;)

Here we witnessed (despite an 80% eclipse) not much more than what seemed like bad weather passing, clouds and all. Anyway, your shots are great, so that makes up a little for the disappointment.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Bart

Not only is each picture well done, but the arrangement of the pictures works so well as a set.


I wonder how it would look with the date on it in interesting letters?
