Solar eclipse peeking through the clouds.
« on: 24 Oct 2014, 12:12 am »



Today's solar eclipse.  Was cloudy all day and we had about a 30-minute time slot with breaks in the clouds. Clouds over the second image dimmed it enough for the sun spots to show. Had hoped for it right at the horizon but this'll do.   :wink:

In the trees by the time it happened here :(

I'm looking forward to 2017, may have to get a little 'scope or something by then...

This se caught me off-guard - not that I was there anyway - but did you take a look at shadows? Smaller things like leaf and branch shadows look funky.
