Solar Eclipse 20th March 2015

I missed it! The good clear weather forecasted a few days earlier turned out to be duds ... we in Stavanger were completely clouded over, I think it even rained on the day of the much awaited total eclipse of the sun.

Earlier plans to travel north to capture the event were cancelled because of the "fabulous" eclipse weather forecasted. It's kind of depressing to think the next time this is taking place is another 14 years away.

These images of the sun on sunny almost spring days were taken during the few days leading to the eclipse Friday, practice shots so to say for an event that was completely clouded over in the end!






Images were made using EOS100D+EF40/2.8+Leica APO 77 Telescope with a green, red filters as well as a dedicated sun filter for good measure. Warning: Looking directly at the sun with a telescope can blind you with some kind of safety measures!
