Unfortunately, I didn't catch the diamond ring phenomenon exactly; I was
probably one or two seconds too late :( but we can still see some of the corona
and two of the pinkish-colored solar prominences. For this shot, I used my
cropped-sensor Nikon D40 along with a 1970's vintage Celestron C-90, which has a
1,000 mm focal length, so that means that the effective focal length with a full
frame sensor would be 1,500 mm.
