Partial Solar Eclipse 23 Oct 2014
I spent a nice evening on the shore of Lake Conroe - Conroe, TX photographing today's Partial Solar Eclipse. For this photo I used my Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L lens with stacked 2.0 @ 1.4 Tele-convertors since my solar filter is a perfect fit. The eclipse started at 5:00PM and reached maximum coverage at 6:00PM. The sun dropped below the horizon about 40 minutes later, before the eclipse was complete.

Just read a post from NASA that the sunspot (AR12192) in this photo is 80,000 miles across, approximately 10 earth diameters.
