Some Small Pics of the Partial Solar Eclipse

May 21, 2012 10:05 PM

I managed to take a few snapshots of the solar eclipse in the Malibu area, where it was just a partial. Just wanted to share a few. I've still got the same setup as when I took my supermoon pics, but hopefully one day I'll be able to get something bigger than my 105mm capabilities, something like Cory's awesome solar telescope (see his time-lapse of the annular)!

You'll have to click on mine to see any details. When you enlarge this one, you can see some sunspots. I didn't even think it would be able to do that.

And after I took my filter off, I was greeted by this little feller...
