SOLAR ECLIPSE ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY Last updated: 25 December 2000

The following photos of the Christmas Day 2000 Partial Solar Eclipse were taken from near my home south of Los Angeles, California, USA. At maximum eclipse at my location the Moon covered 15% of the Sun's diameter and 7% of the Sun's area. Times of the shots are approximate. Some sunspots are also visible. Equipment used was the following:
