Higher Resolution time lapse of the partial solar eclipse on 5/20/2012 that was taken from San Jose CA. In this short video we see the moon make its way between Earth and the Sun in this partial but fairly full eclipse. Three sunspot groups can be seen as darker spots on the Sun from top to bottom just right of center.

This is the best and latest production of this video clip on this site (I was unable to just update the video on earlier posts)

Another short movie of the transit of Venus that happened in early June is located in the Sun, Moon and Planets section of this site as well.

Images were taken with a Canon 40D DSLR through an 80mm Stellarvue APO on an Atlas EQ tracking mount.
