Images taken using Canon 500D DSLR on
TV-101 refractor. Various exposures from
1/4000sec-1/500 sec exposure at ISO 100.
Baader 5.0 Filter was used on images 1-4 except for
the last 2 setting frames 5 & 6 which doesn't
require any filter.
Image 1 landed into the front page of
spaceweather.com . , the Moon passed in front of
the sun, producing a spectacular "ring
of fire" eclipse visible
from the Indian Ocean and surrounding lands. In
Manila, James Kevin Ty caught the eclipse in its
partial phase:
"The low-hanging sun was
dim and I didn't need any special filter to
photograph it using my
Canon 500D," says Ty. "In
the foreground, a young couple sat together in a
boat enjoying the romantic view." Indeed, it was a
lovely eclipse.
Image 5 shows a "possible
green flash effect" but atmospheric optics expert
Les Cowley suggested it is the 2nd variant of green
flash effect called "Cloud Top Flash." Les
commented: "This is possibly a 'cloud-top' flash.
There are two broad flash types, one is the
classical Jules Verne flash when the the last sliver
of sun disappears beneath the horizon. The other,
much harder to see visually but more often
photographed, is where the top of the sun flashes
green while
much of the disk is still above the horizon. The
cloud-top flash is a variant of the second type and
it might be caused by an inversion layer associated
with the cloud top. We do not fully understand
them!" Featured in

The January 15, 2010 sunset
partial solar eclipse at the Manila Bay is indeed a
rare and beautiful site. My image captured the
romantic blood red sunset with two lovers on a boat
silhouetted against the partially eclipsed sun. The
photo was taken around 5:44 pm (Philippine Standard
Time) using a
Canon 50D at prime focus
on an unfiltered Borg77ED refractor (1/800 sec at
ISO 200).

The Jan. 15, 2010
partial solar eclipse observed in Manila Bay,
Philippines was indeed a rare astronomical event -
the partially eclipsed sun during sunset was also
enveloped by a solar halo. I used my Astroscan
Reflector Telescope to project an image of the
eclipsed Sun. Images were taken using Canon Rebel
Xsi.

Took the annular
eclipse using a Canon DSLR camera with an X-ray
film. The side of the film provided the best
contrast for the shot.

It's a great feeling witnessing an astro event such
as yesterday's solar eclipse especially for relative
new comers to the hobby like me. This is just he
2nd solar eclipse that I've witnessed and it's
awesome!

and Canon XSi DSLR. |
