No annular eclipse in around Paris but very nice weather during all the show. It was really nice to see all the prominences around the Sun!

The eclipse seen in projection through the vegetation looked like the suction cups of the octopus tentacles. The spectacle of the solar ring,completely new for me, was absolutely beautiful!

Was a wonderful eclipse, though only 42.5% MAX it was great.

Look carefully at the full-sized picture. The profile of a lunar crater appears clearly in front of the solar disc.

Taken in Prime Focus method.

With a blank piece of paper under the tree canopy many sun eclipses were projected by the little openings between the leaves. Notice the projections are upside down, because the leaves act like a pinhole camera. These pictures were taken during the totality (60 % sun disk ubstruction) around 11.05 am local time.
