Total Solar Eclipse 4-8-24 - Explored!
A closeup of Baily's Beads and solar prominences as the sun was reappearing right after totality.
Traveled to Jackson, Missouri to see the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. It was spectacular! I saw the last one from Nebraska in 2017 and immediately started making plans to see this one. The temperature dropped from 75 down to around 65 and we all had goosebumps! Such a surreal experience to be able to see a few stars and planets during the middle of the day, and to be able to actually see a red glowing solar prominence with my own eyes without special glasses.
All taken with my Sony a6000 through my Celestron 8" telescope at 1260mm or the wide shot with a 55mm lens.
