2026-08-12|Sunatori's Solar Eclipse with Pinhole Lens
Potential Discovery or Invention
The partial solar eclipse was supposed to appear like this.
In reality, however, the image was fuzzy and distorted with hardly any sign of solar eclipse. Here are images at maximum view (peak), one with Shade 14 Welding Lens (LEFT), and the other with pinhole lens (RIGHT). The cause of BLACK dot near Sun's centre is unknown.
Solar prominence glows with vivid pink-red hue due to hydrogen-alpha light emissions. Could the bright-pink spot that I captured by iPhone's Camera app (iOS) during ~15 % eclipse (LEFT) be bright-pink prominence that is supposed to be visible only during total solar eclipse (RIGHT)?
