       The eclipsed sun rises over Leyte Island as seen in Cebu City. 5:23am 1/500sec exposure  | 
    
A partial solar eclipse was seen here in Cebu City. All photos were taken using my Astrophysics AP130 EDF working at f/12 with the use of an AP 2X convertible barlow. I used a Kodak Pro Image 100 film and a Baader Planetarium Photographic Density Solar Filter Material mounted on my homemade fiberlgass mount. The eclipse started at 5:02am local time which is before sunrise. Sunrise here in Cebu occurred at 5:22am. Maximum eclipse was at 6:00:55 local time with the moon covering 79.8% of the sun. The eclipse ended at 7:04am local time.
