These images were taken near Hangzhou, China, as part of the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston expedition to see the eclipse. Many thanks to Mario Motta, Bernie Volz, Joel Harris, and China Travel Service for making the trip a great success! Also many thanks to all our traveling companions on the trip for making the whole experience so enjoyable and memorable.
These images were taken with a Canon Digital Rebel EOS 300D single-lens reflex camera. We saw the eclipse through thin clouds.
