Partial solar eclipse at sunset, 29 April 2014

Hi all,

We had a partial solar eclipse yesterday evening at sunset. Lots of clouds around, but I went ahead with my plan of taking an image every 3 minutes as the sun set (using my 70-200mm f/4L and a home-made solar filter). Here's the result:

Nice to get another APOD!

Congratulations. Well deserved.
That technique has become your signature dish.

Well done
