So epic! Where was this at?

Yep currently a 4 so that gives me a little hope for tonight. It's projected as a 3 for tonight AND tomorrow night. I'm thinking worse case scenario if I make it to Missouri and can't see it tonight, I could head to north Minnesota and likely see it there tomorrow night.... maybe, lol. EDIT...

That's awesome!

I was actually contemplating leaving at lunch today and driving north. I could probably get well up into Missouri by later tonight which would surely increase my odds. From what I'm seeing it's predicted as a G3 tonight and tomorrow though. I'm not sure if that is strong enough or not...

I did get a pic of the sunspot that caused it though....

Congrats! I can't believe I missed it. I checked outside twice then went to sleep, lol. I didn't really think I would be able to see it in south AL but I saw some pics today of it from south Florida. Depressing...

I finished editing a couple more images today. I was able to capture the diamond ring..... I made my first attempt at an HDR image.... I made another composite comparing the 2023 annular eclipse to the 2024 total eclipse... And I think this one is neat. I added the earth...

Currently I use a mirrorless camera, lenses between 100-700mm (depending on what im targeting), and a star tracker. I started off with a basic dslr and a 55-250mm kit lens. You can actually achieve decent results with this gear. Now I never did because back then, I was taking single images and...

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Nice images too. The 2017 eclipse was the first one I tried to photograph. It's what got me interested in eclipses and solar imaging. What I like about astrophotography is, there's always room for improvement. I can shoot the same object year after year and...

Mission accomplished... Ever since I saw a composite image like this, I knew I wanted to capture and create one myself. This is the reason I went, but just experiencing totality was worth it, even if I didn't get the shot...

There's no telling how many hours of YouTube I watched getting ready for this one, lol. Right in the middle of totality I stopped photographing and took a minute to soak it all in. Trying to put it into words doesn't do it justice. Everyone should see this at least once in their lives. Here...

Thanks, small world! We stayed in Sikeston and drove in to the "bluff" early Monday morning. I ended up shooting at the Elks Lodge off of 67. Beautiful country up there.

Awesome photos guys and gals! I planned on traveling to Texas or Arkansas, but I ended up in Poplar Bluff, Missouri to see the eclipse. It was my first total eclipse and it did not dissapoint. Hard to put into words how incredible the experience was. Viewing a partial or even an annular eclipse...

That's impressive! An S24 will likely be my next upgrade from my S20 FE. I just got my last day of practice in shooting the sun for the eclipse. I'm working every day until I leave Sunday morning. I will try and get a few more early morning shots of the moon for practice for totality. I'm going...

Nice job. I went two days ago but it didn't work out. I drove 10 min to a flat area and right at dusk it was going under the treeline. It was still too bright to shoot honestly. I may try again if I can find a decent size hill to shoot from.

Awesome. I'm working day shift now so I will try after dusk when I get a clear sky. I won't be able to shoot from my house because of the trees around my property. It's pretty low on the horizon but if I can find an open area I might have an hour to shoot it before it sets. Light pollution is...

Awesome. What time did you take this?

I took these today. It was one of the brightest/clearest rainbows I've seen in several years. Wish I had my good camera, only cell phone....

That one sure is bright if you can see it at sunset. I will give pons-brooks a look-see in the next couple days. It may be just high enough for me to see right after/before sunrise/sunset.

I've been wanting to photograph a comet. Just pulled it up on stellarium and it looks like it's barely over the horizon at dusk and dawn here in South AL. The rest of the night it's below the horizon. It is highest in the sky during the daytime for me. I did see where it might be visible during...
