On the summer solstice (Jun 21) evening of 2020, the partial solar eclipse was observed in Japan.
The event afforded an annular eclipse at the southern Asia, China and Taiwan with duration of about a minute.
Unfortunately a location where I observed had cloudy sky due to the Japanese rainy season; somehow I could capture only the first quarter of progress between the thick clouds.
This multiframe picture shows you that the sun was eclipsed about 30% from southwest direction.
Additionally the solar activity was near its minimum period, no sunspots were detected.
