In the morning of Jan 6, 2019, the partial solar eclipse was observed at the eastern Asia and northern Pacific including Japan. It was slightly cloudy weather but I could record all pregress of eclipse through the clouds. The sun was eclipsed approximately 44% just after 10:00, the moon passed the northern part of the sun. This multiflame picture shows you the white-light images in upper and the Hα monochromatic light images in lower. Presently the solar activity has its minimum period, I could detect no sunspots on the solar disk. However, you can see a small-scaled active region near the western edge (right hand side) in Hα images.
