| Summary: The New Moon passed in front of
the sun, producing a partial solar eclipse visible across much
of the Pacific Ocean. The best observing sites were Japan, where
the eclipse happened on Oct. 14th, and Alaska and Hawaii, where the
eclipse began at sunset on Oct. 13th. [more]

I was on Kauai for work when I realized this partial solar eclipse was to happen. When the sun's diameter was obscured by one-half, about one-third surface area, the landscape took on a surrealistic tone. The clouds added some flavor during the moment. Exposures taken every 2 1/2 minutes using Nikon D70 w/ 28-105 Nikkor lens. Solar filter was welder's glass #12 placed in a makeshift lens carrier.

I took this image
with a simple 3x zoom digital camera. The filter is self-made
(20 years old, fully exposed black&white film, maybe 'unsafe').
The sunset was incredible with a green and a blue flash.

After a day of clouds,
flash flood warnings and hoping for a shot at some eclipse photos,
this is all I can show. The clouds came in and during the best
part of the eclipse a LARGE cloud blocked my view. At the last
monent, the eclipsed sun dropped below the cloud and was seen
thru an offshore squall. I can only imagine IF we had clear
skys. Lunar eclipse in 2 weeks!!

I could see the solar eclipse with my naked eyes through some thick clouds. I also use my digital camera with baader film to capture the eclipse when the clouds were gone.
