Solar Eclipse at Anji, 100 km NW of Hangzhou

PTS

Hi,
Ho Cham and I travelled 100 km from Hangzhou to Anji, to join the IAU Solar Eclise Expedition led by Prof. Jay M Pasachoff.
We are lucky to see the whole eclipse, despite the fact that the event was disturbed by thin clouds.
Here is 3 shots from my recording through polariser.

Hocham will post his "diamond ring" later.

May I know, the image blurred, is that cause by the polarizer? Then why is it so?
My polarizer also gave me same effect...but I don't understand why.

PTS

Yes, that was a great mistake to choose this type of polariser.  However, I did succeed in getting a complete set of exposures at ), 45, 90 and 135 degrees, each with 100 images.  This series showed the polarization effect on the corona.

I just don't understand why it became blur....

PTS

The polarizing filter is too thick, and there is double reflection.
