This is how a solar eclipse looks like when shot without a solar filter. Tapani Isomaki captured this stunning scene on January 4, 2011 at 8:41AM UT in Turku, Western Finland.

Tapani used the following camera and equipments specs: SKY WATCHER 200 PDS telescope, HEQ5 GO TO mount, Canon 1000D camera, 2″ COMA CORRECTOR, ISO 100, exp. 1/4000 sec.

“The clouds where giving the eclipse nice linear stripes. It was amazing to look at it without a Sun filter (H-filter),” Tapani mentioned.
