Yes. Didn't use much more than my DSLR and a DIY filter.

I did something similar a couple years ago. You're right that this one wasn't covered enough. But the day did get noticeably dimmer and cooler.

Yeah, that big spot made that X flare. It's a pretty big spot as far as spots go. The biggest one so far in this cycle.

It's a curious thing the possible correlation between sunspot activity and climate changes.
