Solar Eclipse May 20

[Taquiq]

There was a Solar Eclipse on May 20, and I got some pictures with my telescope and Solar Filter.

Also, here's a time-lapse video I also got.

That was really cool. This eclipse wan an annular eclipse where the moon doesn't completely cover the sun. The last eclipse in mainland US was in 1979 and I traveled from Boston to Winnipeg (in Canada) to see it. At the time we knew that the next one would be in 2017 and it seemed such a long time away. Now it's only 5 more years. We hope to be in SC or GA the summer of 2017.

Thanks! It was annular but from my location in SoCal it was partial.
