Summary: The Year of the Ox began with a solar eclipse. On Monday, Jan. 26th, the same new Moon that marked the Chinese Lunar New Year passed in front of the Sun--dead center--covering 93% of the solar disk. The annular eclipse was visible from a narrow path spanning the Indian Ocean; the sunset end of the path fell across Borneo, Sumatra and Java, where observers saw a fantastic "ring of fire" sink into the sea at the end of the day.

I observed a Partial Solar Eclipse this afternoon. Presented bellow are some pictures I took from my backyard. I used an Infrared (IR) Filter with a 500mm Opteka Mirror Lens, a 2x Barlow Lens, which gave me 1000mm on the mirror lens. I also used my EFS 55-250mm IS lens. The mirror lens is a cheap and light-weight alternative to a proper telescope. The afternoon Sun was very bright (because the Earth passed its Perihelion few days ago). Instead of using a small aperture I used the IR filter because it cuts off quite a bit of light.
