21.06.2020: Partial Solar Eclipse

June 21, 2020 - 7.28 AM
I was ready to take a picture to the partial solar eclipse; equipped with:
  • my Canon 1100D + Teleobiettivo Tamron 70-300mm 4.5/5.6;
  • special glasses with the astrosolar film to see the eclipse.
Me, ready to see the partial solar eclipse.

...and this is the result:

Partial Solar Eclipse: 21/06/2020

Get ready to capture another astronomical appointment: the Partial Solar Eclipse on 21st of June, 2020!

 



It will be visible from the South of Italy and, in partic8ular, from Sicily, Calabria and Puglia.
From Salento (in the south of Puglia) we'll see only the 11% of the whole Sun surface covered by the Moon's shadow.

I suggest to use solar glasses because, although it is only a small percentage, the show will be worth it!!

In the following example I used the Stellariumsoftware to highlight how it should look:
