AJH_170821_1040

Sun stars radiate from the crescent-shaped sliver of sun not obscured by the moon. This photo was taken at the height of the solar eclipse, at 0922 PTD on August 21, 2017. This was only a partial eclipse, as viewed from Mount Tabor Park in Portland, Oregon. These radiating sun stars are caused by the aperture blades in the lense closed down to form a small iris. Nikon D700, Nikon AF Nikkor 300mm f/4 IF-ED, Nikon TC-301.
