Description

This image of the crescent sun was taken in Nashville Tennessee, at ~1.27 pm in the afternoon. Image taken with a H-Alpha modded Nikon DSLR with a 200mm lens covered by Solarlite film solar filter. Image details : ISO 200, f8 and 1/1000 sec. One of series of images taken every 2 minutes after the partial eclipse started. This one was just before the total eclipse started at 1:27:28 pm. The image still shows a nice diamond with one big diamond and 2 smaller diamonds on 2 sides. The image also shows 2 prominences, first one at ~1 o'clock and the other at ~3 o'clock. No processing of the image was done other than cropping. Used the i-Optron Skytracker to track the sun in the sky.
