Capturing a Partial Solar Eclipse

At Saturday 29th of Mars starting about 12:24 local time here in Oslo I got the time and opportunist to film and photograph this event. My Choice of was the handy smartscope Seestar s50. I never used it before on the sun, so I carefully had to read the manual and make sure it was 100% leveled. Some manual aiming was necessary and not very easy or pleasent since that involve looking at the sun. However I managed and the scope tracked the sun perfectly. I planned to time-lapse the whole thing, but a big tree and a few clouds stopped me from that. So I had to manage with a time-lapse of the last part. Well I can’t fight nature, and at the end of the day I am happy to have captured another great astromical event this year
