Watching a solar eclipse together

Hello. The long-awaited eclipse is about to begin. It will last quite a long time, about two hours, so in order not to get bored, I decided to create this post, periodically supplement it with fresh pictures and communicate in the comments. My equipment is not so hot - Celestron Astromaser 130 EQ and iPhone5 as an ocular camera. The filter is home-made, made of cardboard and Baader Astrosolar film. I am in the country near Tula, the weather is clear, though the wind periodically flies and swings the tire mount. I have access to the Internet through the same iPhone, 3G from a megaphone. I hope that the equipment and communication will not fail and everything will work out.


Unfortunately, the Sun is rather boring today, large groups of spots are not visible. Now, at 12:00 Moscow time, while the eclipse has not yet begun, it looks like this:



The image is straight (north from above). If one of the readers is also shooting now - share photos in the comments.

Upd. 12:16 - there is a touch!


Upd. 12:20: It is not visible in the photo, but visually it is slightly noticeable that the edge of the lunar disk is uneven, mountainous, while the solar disk is absolutely smooth.

Upd. 12:25:


Upd. 12:35:


Upd. 12:45: If you look closely, you can see the differences in the relief of the moon. The southern hemisphere is more mountainous.


Upd. 12:57:


Upd. 13:02: Moment of covering the spot with the moon. While changing the eyepiece, I did not have time to visually see :(


Upd. 13:12: I record short videos between shots. Then I will process them in Registax to get better quality. It should look like instagram.com/p/tic-SIPDut

Upd. 13:14


Upd. 13:34: Well, at the most interesting moment, communication problems started. Maximum 12 minutes ago:


Upd. 13:35: It is already clearly visible that the moon is leaving.


Upd. 13:44: The sickle image can be obtained simply by folding the


Upd fingers . 13:45:


Upd. 13:55:


Upd. 14:06:


Upd. 14:12: So the lone spot seemed: I

watched the spot exit visually (10 seconds appeared) then immediately removed it.

Upd. 14:22:


Upd. 14:30: I
didn’t shoot the moon, I decided to observe visually with a larger increase. It looks interesting in dynamics - there has just been an edge of the Sun with a kink, and that’s all, the Moon is gone, the solar disk is perfectly flat.

This is where I finish my improvised broadcast, thanks to everyone who watched with me! Who wants to see better images drawn from the videos, subscribe to my instagram , in the coming days I will analyze the video and publish it.

One of my videos and the image obtained by adding frames from this video:





Unlike previous shots, here the image is inverted (as it was visible in the eyepiece). The lunar relief is clearly visible.
