Partial solar eclipse over Melbourne . . .
This image was taken using my Samsung mobile phone. The EV was set to -2. A Baader AstroSolar Safety Foil was used before the lens. This foil is CE-tested and reduces the intensity of sunlight by 99.999% (optical density 5.0).
This is a full frame, uncropped image. In processing, noise reduction and slight adjustment in lowering the brightness was used.
Melbourne was under very thick clouds. This shot was taken at 2:04pm, during lucky breaks through a gap, about 5 minutes before the maximum eclipse (2:09pm). The eclipse was partial (about 11% of the sun covered) in Melbourne but total in Exmouth, Western Australia.
