Hi Mat, What did you use to get the pictures? Specifically what filter were you using to get those colors? patrick On 21 May 2012, at 18:24, Hutchings, Mat (H USA) wrote:
Hi all;
Here is a link to some of the images I took of the eclispe from Cedar City: https://picasaweb.google.com/1028899789 ... d2R---hpgE<https://picasaweb.google.com/102889978938539029003/May212012?authkey=Gv1sRgCMGdgd2R---hpgE>
I think it is cool that you can see lunar craters on the limb of the moon in sillouete. In the last image you can also see what I suppose would be considered Bailey's Beads, but since this was not a total eclipse, the effect was minimal. Someone correct me if wrong about that.
I had a really great time observing with Jeff Porter at an elementary school near his mother's house. Our two families were the only serious observers there. Some others did come by and we shared the views from our telescopes and shared our eclipse glasses.
Really enjoyable to me was seeing and hearing the reactions of my children throughout the event. As someone else also posted, I was struck by the "weak" sunlight and the cool temperature. What a day!
