My second image of the fantastic solar storm from just over a week ago, March 23, 2023. During this capture the lights were dancing all over the north sky and even shooting straight overhead. Possibly the craziest aurora I’ve ever witnessed. During the next couple years we’ll be reaching what’s called “Solar Maximum” so displays like this may become even more common. Fingers crossed !

Built for the Eurobricks Classic Space Era Spaceship Contest.
Had to be a ship containing a smaller vehicle in the colour scheme of one out of a list of classic themes. I already had an idea for another wedge craft built around the new trans-yellow canopy, so thought I'd give it a whirl.

The Solar Eclipse at third contact with corona, prominences, earthshine, the diamond ring, and Regulus to the left. A much improved version of my previous upload.
I've written a note describing how I made this image:
astronomy.robpettengill.org/solarEclipseImages.html
I incorporated the deep blue sky that is an important part of my visual memory with Regulus and the corona from just before 3rd contact. The cromosphere, prominences, and fist glimpse of the diamond ring are from the moment of third contact. Taken from Deidre's 360 view near Torrington, Wyoming on 2017-08-21 17:48 UT. Forty-six images HDR composited from 2 stacks for the corona, earthshine, and a diamond ring image. Images exposed for from 1/1000 sec to 5 sec at ISO 100 at f 11.2 using a Vivitar 200 mm prime telephoto lens with 2X teleconverter and Sony a6300 camera and a Questar 1350/89mm telescope, f15, (for earthshine) with a Sony NECX-5N camera at prime focus.

As I was finishing up some older imagery from last year's solar eclipse I stumbled upon the Baily Bead sequence that I made just before and after totality. A few months after the first processing I had made quite some progress in the details I got out and decided to redo some of the work. This resulted in this image of the Earthshine on the moon taken during totality together with the corona and the sequence of the Baily beads. I personally really like this image

The lights flash and change color!! I bought them on the WISH app. Love all my solar lights and lanterns from them!!
Porsche 917K #917-022
This car was bought new in 1970 by Solar Productions (Steve McQueen's production company) in order to be driven by McQueen in some scenes of the movie "Le Mans" in the iconic Gulf colors and #20 number, just as the Jo Siffert / Brian Redman car.
After the film it was raced for a short period of time before being owned by Brian Redman, Richard Attwood. It is now part of the Jerry Seinfeld collection.

After a lot of driving despairing at the weather, I eventually returned to Dunnottar Castle to find the clouds making the perfect backdrop for the eclipse after all - even more dramatic than I'd hoped for.
solar eclipse behind the town hall and war memorial in Hanley, Stoke on Trent. I only had five minutes break from work and attached a pair of sunglasses to my camera to take these shots!
An annular solar eclipse occurred on September 1, 2016, and annularity has been observed by me, sitting on the beach, in Madagascar.
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring).
This is a composite image of all the seperate images I took during the recent solar eclipse on March 20th 2015. These were taken from The Lough in Cork. I opened all the images in photoshop and aligned them in a sequence so you could see how it progressed. Originally I did this with more "under-exposed" images that just showed the eclipse, but when I imported these shots that were a little "over-exposed" I thought the detail in the clouds that came with them looked really cool so I left it in. This was not faked in any way.The only use of photoshop was to align the exposures in the sequence you see.
So... my horoscope said: "That moment when the Sun is eclipsed will be your moment of introspection as you prepare for a big change. Once that passes, prepare to be amazed. This is a time of letting that light shine, and figuring out where you really belong, and who you belong to. Hint: You belong to the ones that make you feel like you shine in their world.
The New Moon and solar eclipse in Fixed Fire Sign Leo is all about being ready for the big change that is coming. You can′t stop it from happening. And it′s nothing to fear. That′s because this one, like every other transit, is all about ensuring your success. It′s your time to shine, baby! Expect the unexpected. Make those New Moon wishes count. This one could be the biggest new beginning of your life."
Ok, yes, please. I am ready for the biggest new beginning of my life. I am ready to be amazed. Today was one bad thing after another (well ...except for the eclipse... I did get to see it and I did have solar glasses, so I still have my eyesight... all good!) Other than that...everything sucked and yesterday was pretty much the same. So ... bring it on.... amaze me!! PLeeeeZe!!!
(I brought my camera, but had no intention of trying to photograph the eclipse... I can't even get a shot of the moon...so I decided I would leave that to the experts... and better photographers. This is an iPhone photo from Jenny Jump State Park's observatory... where volunteers let you look through solar eclipse binoculars and telescopes. It was an awesome place to be... the only bright spot in the day (even with the sun being eclipsed!!) ; )
Extreme overexposure on FP4. This was shot at f/16 for either two or four seconds. I've done this with a pinhole camera, but never with a real lens.
I used photoshop to bring out contrasts and get rid of a couple of dust specks, but the solarization effect is real.
Next time, I'm going to try cutting the normal development time in half.
Well yes there is a Solar Eclipse happening. No, not just the Rock hiding the sun, but the moon hiding the sun too which cant be seen in this length/exposure. This is a blend of two exposures shot from another camera (Canon 5D3+EF24-70mm F2.8LII) during Solar Eclipse at Fossil Dunes, Al Wathba, Abu Dhabi. This is how the Fossil Dunes look compared to the silhouette in previous photos.
I'm excited to announce the release of my first ebook "A Return to Iceland" which contains over 60 unreleased images from a two week trip to Iceland last summer. This image graces the cover page and is perhaps my favorite aerial images from the the trip. "A Return to Iceland" is free for everyone on my mailing list. If you'd like to receive a copy follow the link below to sign up. Cheers and I sincerely hope you enjoy the ebook!

A sunset panorama of the Solar Farm in Ivanpah California. It's a series of long exposures. The Creosote bush AKA Larrea Tridentada serves as the foreground with the Solar Farm & Mountain as the middle ground. And the sky is the background.
In May 2014 the news media claims it's the largest in the world. Nevertheless, it consists of 3 huge solar towers that collect sun rays from the several hundred thousand mirrors on the ground. The intense gamma rays vaporize any foul that come between the mirrors and the solar collector towers. Ironically it's built on the California Nevada boarder. And it sends generated electricity over a hundred miles into California. Nevada has yet to incorporate solar or wind factories even though it has more sunny days than most of the states in the South West US.
Thanks for viewing.
The total Solar eclipse was imaged on Ah Chong Island in the Montebello group in West Australia. This image is an exposure fusion of 7 one-stop images captured with a Nikon Z7II camera, Nikon 16-35 mm F lens @ 16 mm. The colors and darkness are close to my perception of the event. Jupiter is above the eclipsed Sun and Venus below just above the landscape. It was a bright eclipse and I only saw those two planets with my eye.
The October 14, 2023 solar eclipse at its peak (about 68%) here in southwestern California, USA.
When I first learned about the pending eclipse, my mind began to cue up a classic Johnny Cash song (covered by Wall of Voodoo and Social Distortion, among others) and perhaps crack a pun off it, but, alas, this was not the case. (Well, at least I got to link to the songs for the benefit of those in the path of the eclipse's totality.)
I used the same sheet of solar filter material attached to a plastic drain pipe fitting also used some six years earlier.
Solar Coaster.
Solar Coaster was do just that in the November winds that had come ashore at Port Macquarie.
The sometimes strong winds provided the perfect conditions for sailors to take their yachts and spread their sails on the waters of the Hastings River.
