Solar Eclipse at 640mm Effective Focal Length
Solar Eclipse at 640mm Effective Focal Length
I was able to catch a sharper image this time around by putting my Canon EF 70-200 mm lens and 2X teleconverter on a Canon 70D "crop sensor" camera, which increased the 400 mm focal length 1.6X to 640 mm effective. I also used a solar filter to cut the sun's radiation enough to be able to focus using 10X magnification in Live View without frying my camera sensor.
I was pleased to see that my camera sensor was able to pick up variations across the surface of the sun.

Nice job Jeff! Sun spot looks pretty sharp too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat
ReplyDeleteTami Mohr-Jones Thanks, unfortunately that sunspot doesn't seem to be associated with a coronal mass ejection which might give us some aurora activity.
ReplyDeleteWell that's a conditional + 1 LOL
ReplyDeleteTotal dream to see something like that someday.
Really Frozen HOT KOOL

ReplyDeleteI made a short video from still frames of the eclipse (from Michigan). https://plus.google.com/109792156715755708589/posts/J4byiyis1Cd
ReplyDeleteUna luna stupenda. ....ottimo....continua così. ..!sei grande Jeff
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot! Thanks for sharing and the good Explanation!
ReplyDeleteThat's that in the middle. Looks like the man on the moon. O. It's the sun. ;D
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice work.
ReplyDeleteGoogle translate that and be careful. We don't know where this is coming from. Beware.
ReplyDeleteDon't engage.
In these troubled times. Someone sent a post that was potentially problematic. A rant from someone of a country we are at odds with and I reported it.
ReplyDelete¡Impresionante !
ReplyDeleteWow
ReplyDeleteJeff yours #1.. it was cloudy, windy perfect here didntl ook up. Too busy walking in light rain.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured a very nice image in white light filtration Jeff. Congratulations! Yours also shows some nice edge darkening and other details. I was only lucky enough to drive fast through a lightning storm that knocked off the electricity at a service station that I was fueling up at, so I had to wait frustratingly so I could rush toward bluer clearer skies as I was under a storm from the first half of the beginning of the eclipse. So after driving about 15 miles, I got about this much partial clearing to take these rather diminished photos through my small 40mm h-alpha telescope. The h-alpha filter is rather strained even when the sky looks bright and relatively clear to the average naked eyes, as the slightest haze will block the fine details in the h-alpha, but for those who have never actually seen other physical surface activity like hydrogen "flame-like prominences" on the edges of the solar disc, there was one considerable one at about the 4 o'clock position here yesterday at mid-eclipse time. Again these images were very strained and I did what I could with them in the new Adobe Photoshop CC, keeping them not so enlarged but instead offering several images over roughly an hours time to show some effects of the phase change to the waning finale at far right. *And the big bonus- a panorama of me at the telescope! (see the longer story in the caption than I have written here today) >

Unfortunately that link isn't working for me at all Mark Seibold. I've tried it several times, including in a new tab.
ReplyDeleteSorry Jeff, I am not sure why some of my photo links do not work at times in Google+. I'll post the large compilation photo of my eclipse images to my DP Review Gallery in a moment and link it here. *pending now . . . let me know if this works- you can click to Fullscreen in DP Review with the "Slide Show" selection in upper front page tool bar, then in next window, select "Fullscreen". These are the people at DP Review that wrote the Fullscreen and Slideshow options we see today in Facebook and Google+ > http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/1579463287/photos/3055031/solar-partial-eclipse-oct-23rd-2014-from-clackamas-town-center-parking-lot_11_six-versions-over-1-hour-in-chronology_4000-pxl-for-google-plus_titles-copyright-mark-seibold-2014
ReplyDelete* I think that I also just corrected that earlier post to link properly to my Eclipse photo from yesterday, as I forgot they have to be retrieved from the original personal album by the owner and then copied/linked to a new post. Let me know, as I think I got it right now. (;
it's about TIME someone posted a photo of the great sunspot AND the eclipse. Thanks again!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember eclipse movie ;)
ReplyDeleteTami Mohr-Jones I've identified the best (and least expensive) place to go for the Aurora Borealis, the best time to go, and eventually we'll run a workshop there. Start practicing your night photography!
ReplyDeleteThe link works now, thanks Mark Seibold , glad you were able to capture the eclipse.
ReplyDeleteAmazing thanks
