Moon passing in front the sun

Earlier this year the moon passed in front of the sun and a partial solar eclipse occured. This was the view through the telescope, a closer look at the moons limb and the sun in Ha and an active area at the sun is visible.

Partial Solar eclipse

 Thin clouds arrived but I manage to take som photos from the backyard. I actually used my old Canon Digital Rebel XT today, my very first digital astro camera, still going strong. Amazing to see the moon moving across the suns surface and to see a

great prominence, filament, sunspots and active regions.

The only view I got of the moon tonight. Just at moonrise I could see a partial eclipsed moon before the clouds covered all the sky.
