The sun 9 minutes before max of the partial eclips. The picture is made of 6 frames each taken via my telescope OrionXT12 with barlow x2 and my camera Nikon D60. The opening of the telescope was foreseen with a Baader filter.

Start of Spring
Exactly 23h45 the spring starts. This is called equinox and happens when the middle of the sun crosses the equator line.
Partial Suneclips Succesfull
This morning weather was still cloudy and this would last untill 10am according meteoblue. Looking at the different options, I took the decission to drive 150km east towards Malmedy. I did arrive just before the first contact and there was still some fog but every minute the weather became better.
The view was fantastic while unloading the material and setting up my camera and telescoop.
The picture above was taken with a normal camera and using ocular projection from my telescope orionxt12.
