Minox Eclipse


B. C. S.

Recommended Posts

Finally got around to printing some Minox negatives - I'm about four sets behind. This is a composite of my eclipse photos.

Hand-held Minox B, Nikon 8X40 binoculars, arc welding glass filter. Delta 100 in Microdol printed on Adorama RC paper and scanned.

Not great but was fun.Eclipse-CompositeS.thumb.jpg.7444b6939d82e16f2855899695635650.jpg

Not bad, considering it isn't TTL focusing. Have not tried my IIIs with binoculars. I have a nondescript pair of 7X50's , really old without center focusing, each eyepiece has to be focused.

We viewed a 90% + eclipse with eyepiece projection on a piece of white Masonite through my very old 2.4 inch refractor. Without a proper solar filter, eyepiece projection is the only safe way to view the sun that I know of.
