Eclipse photo

[jonathan]

I unofficially took my solar scope to work today and promptly set up in the car park, shortly after which people seemed to gravitate to me for what turned into an impromptu solar star party.  We had some great gaps in the cloud, although not clear blue sky it was enough for everyone to see the eclipse happening, one person had some proper solar observing glasses and I had also made a solar projector out of a long cardboard box.

I managed to get one snap at the eyepiece, could maybe do with processing so any advice greatly appreciated.  The photo shows some nice filaments and prominences, there was a large sunspot too which was obscured by the time I took this photo.

Nice afocal catch

Did my best to process it (using GIMP) without losing too much detail.  It was never a clean image to start off with because of all the clouds moving across.

Very nice indeed.
