Annular Solar Eclipse, 15 Jan 2010

I shot a multi-exposure sequence of this morning's annular solar eclipse from Kampala, Uganda. After thirteen cloudy mornings in a row, the sky was clear for the eclipse!

From the time the moon started going in front of one side of the sun, to the time it finished coming out from the other side, took about 3 hours. But the "ring" only lasted 6-8 minutes. 


Along with Thousand Oaks black polymer solar filters for the ends of my camera's lenses, I brought a few pairs of mylar sunglasses, so that people around me could safely get views of the eclipse.
