PhotographerEric EisenstadtLocationReston, VADate5 June 2012; 18:08 ESTEquipmentCanon EOS 30D with 300 mm telephoto lens shielded by an Eclipse Viewer shade from Rainbow Symphony.DescriptionTaken from the rooftop of a parking structure in Reston, VA. On a cloudy afternoon the clouds briefly parted to enable capturing the early stages of the ingress event. Sunspots and a thin film of clouds are evident. The timing, location of the dark blip on the sun's disc, and comparison to images taken two minutes earlier have convinced me that this is indeed the beginning of the transit. Alas, no further shots were possible as the sun disappeared from view within a minute of this shot. |

PhotographerJett AguilarLocationXiamen, ChinaDateMay 21, 2012EquipmentBorg 77ED, Canon 7D with a 2x Extender, Baader 3.8 solar filter, Takahashi Spaceboy mountDescriptionThe annular solar eclipse at Xiamen, China already started at sunrise. We imaged at Xiamen's eastern coast and I started imaging the orange-tinted partially eclipsed rising sun without a filter and thn used a Baader 3.8 solar filter just after the 2nd contact. Right before the second contact, we were lucky to get views of the chromosphere and even a solar prominence when the eclipsed sun emerged from a cloud band. |

It was a lucky shot. |
