- Abstract
The change of illumination on the 9th March 2016 solar eclipse has been monitored using a light sensor a simple instrument that is available in most laboratories. This observation was conducted in Yogyakarta (70 46'S, 1100 20'E). The results were normalized to the illumination on the normal day, i.e., on 5th March 2017 and on 8th March 2018, to obtain the fraction of the uncovered sun's disk. The minimum illumination during eclipse corresponded to the 80.5% obscuration. This simple method showed a good agreement with the available data obtained from Stellarium.
