Partial Solar Eclipse

08:50 3/10/2005 UTC

We had quite cloudy day during the eclipse, but there were nice holes now and then between the clouds. I did a quick observing/imaging session during long lunch break and took hundred or so images of the Sun. I overexposed the first images accidentally and the limb darkening is not as clearly visible as in the others These images are originally green, because of the Continuum filter and I colored the image by adding the green data to red channel also to make more pleasant view. Green is just not something what we expect to see when we look into sun...
