Partial Eclipse & Sunspot - a photo on Flickriver

            Using maximum optical zoom of 83x (2000mm focal length) and ND 64 & 1000 filters (16-stops), this capture shows the partial phase with a nice sunspot. At maximum phase, this sunspot was covered by the moon. From Cheyenne, WY maximum eclipse was about 81%. Skies and overall light were obviously darker and the air was definitely much cooler during maximum eclipse. The air temperature dropped only 2 degrees (40F to 38F) at maximum eclipse but would have been at least 5 degrees warmer otherwise.  The direct sunlight temperature was at least 20F cooler due in part to the 6000 foot elevation of Cheyenne.
