2 lunar eclipses, now a solar eclipse
The heavens have blessed this challenge
Great image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 05:33:57 PM
Woooohooooo! this is sky and telescope quality, if not better, one of my favorites in the challenge, absolutely amazing! That tiny coronal flare is absolutely beautiful, one of the best images I've seen on this site. And since I really appreciate it, it is absolutely GUARANTEED to be underappreciated on this site ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 05:23:35 PM
Superb. Love the detail in the corona. Is that an actual solar flair near the top?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 10:42:02 AM
Very cool. You gotta have your shit together to get one of these shots or it's another long time before you get another shot at it. Did you have to travel to see this?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 12:28:06 AM
This is a stunning, breathtaking shot. I especially love the coma flare. I hope to have an opportunity to shoot a full solar eclipse someday. Bravo for making the most of your opportunity.

Intersting use of light.

Great astrophotography image. A joy to view. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:23:43 PM
The flares in the upper left make this shot. The dance of light behind the front object is really cool. Can't wait to see exactly what this shot is of... Well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:55:32 AM

It's the little flick of fire(?) that makes this shot for me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:10:31 PM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:07:24 PM
simply amazing
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:53:57 PM
Looks like you have a little corona seeping around the edge about 11:00. Pretty cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:07:03 PM
Don't know when you caught this but in recent years the sun has been very quiet. Very lucky to catch a prominence like that. Beautiful image.

Awesome, I like how you captured one of the solar prominences. Very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:22:30 AM
I suspect this isn't a "true" solar eclipse, ...but no matter. It's a stunning photograph/
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:41:08 AM
the red area bugs me and I like more off-centered imagery..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 03:38:43 AM
Technically successful but not high on artistic merit
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:57:06 PM
Beautiful to see some solar flares here!

03/12/2009 08:47:48 PM
Was this an eclipse? almost looks like a bit of sun flare on the top? Very interesting regardless.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:30:05 AM
I'm not into astrophotography, but I can imagine this was hard to capture

that's a bit too perfect alignment ... what is that red stuff at the top of the circle
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:13:04 PM
Ok. This is odd. I'm not sure if I want to stare at this forever until I figure it out... or go to the fridge for a snack because it's not interesting.

Reminds me of the little prince from outerspace.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:49:57 AM
Since I've never tried this one myself, I don't even have any idea how difficult it is to do this kind of shot. And I'm still very impressed.

I like how the subtle solar flare complements the 'hidden gem' theme.
