About this image

It was much more lively and colourful to photograph the partial eclipse today in this very basic method.

I had a 2 hours live broadcast for all the eclipse, beginning to end, aimed at the Arab world, which was watched by 51k viewers:

Hi Mazin. Can you tell me what material you are using for your back projection screen? I am still looking for a really satisfactory material. Are you happy with it? Thanks - Alan

Hi Alan, as a matter of fact I just used a normal A4 bond paper. I advised all the followers of my Facebook page to adopt this simple and safe method which proved very successful even with the most basic telescope :)

Thanks Mazin. I have found that with paper the imperfections show up and can be confused with sunspots. Maybe I haven't used a high enough grade - probably just my fairly ordinary printer paper. I'll try again.
