Potiron Sunspot Photos ❘ lookphotos
13897388 - The partial eclipse of the Sun, October 23, 2014, as seen from Jasper, Alberta, shot under clear skies through a mylar filter, on the front of a 66mm f/6 apo refractor using the Canon 60Da for 1/8000 (!) sec exposure at ISO 100. The colours are natural, with the mylar filter providing a neutral “white light” image. The big sunspot on the Sun that day is just disappearing behind the Moon’s limb. The mylar filter gave a white Sun, its natural colour, but I have tinted the Sun’s disk yellow for a more pleasing view that is not just white Sun/black sky.
13999613 - This is a composite of the October 14,2023 annular solar eclipse with a sequence of six images showing the Moon advancing across a sunspot,the largest one visible on the Sun that day.
13900217 - A composite image of the May 9, 2016 transit of Mercury across the Sun, with Mercury at a perfect “inferior conjunction” between the Sun and Earth. Transits happen only rarely, about 13 per century. The next is November 11, 2019. Then in 2032.
13998299 - The setting Sun descending into a fog bank looking due west,on the evening of the vernal equinox,March 20,2023. The fog dims and reddens the Sun,illustrating atmospheric absorption,and refraction as the solar disk is quite flattened. A couple of sunspots are just visible. The colour gradient is natural and comes from the blend of fog below and clearer twilight sky above.
