Spectacular and simple. Nothing added and nothing taken away from this photo just to let you see what I experienced and that doesn’t even describe the breathtaking beauty of the event. I will never forget this day. Have a great day my friends.
Fun fact, while the surface of the sun is estimated at 5,500 °C the sun’s atmosphere (the corona) is somewhere between 1-3 million °C. 😳
I don't have any Adobe photo editing software. This is edited using the Canon Digital Photo Professional. I am trying to bring out the coronal filament. I am afraid this is the best I can do without a real photo editing software.
You can plan all you want for an eclipse, but when it is cloudy there's not much you can do.
While video recording the umbra passing over our location, I looked behind and took this image at about 1 min 21 seconds into totality. With a heavy cloud cover, it was very dark, almost night. But there was this "sunrise-twight" band of light on the horizon. It gave a very eerie feeling. People were not expecting how dark it actually got. You can actually notice the curvature of the umbra leading edge projected onto the cloud deck.
Liked the silhouette of the foreground against the band of light along the horizon.
This third or fourth year Bald Eagle circled over us shortly after the eclipse began. We watched from the shores of Lac Lovering in southern Quebec Province.
Most of the frames from the series were in the mostly clear sky. Caught this one in a light layer of clouds. Pretty cool as the sun was peeking out from the eclipse.
This was shot a couple seconds before totality. What a show the North America Eclipse provided in the north of the US today. Our niece and her husband lived right in the line of totality and I shot this from their back yard.
I am thrilled this was chosen by the NASA HQ Social Team for their eclipse gallery. NASA HQ Eclipse Gallery

I am adding "excellent multitasker" to my resume after shooting the April 8th 2024 eclipse with my drone and DSLR simultaneously.
Now, while the drone got most of my attention, I did manage to capture something I did not get during the 2017 eclipse- these solar prominences. Those cool magenta flares are probably big enough to encompass the whole earth. It felt like a diamond ring flanked by rubies. Anyone reading this who did not see it in person- those colors were in fact visible to the naked eye when I saw it in person. No telescope needed!

Lors d'une éclipse totale de soleil, la couronne solaire apparaît comme un halo fantomatique autour de la silhouette de la Lune.
La couronne solaire constitue en quelque sorte l’atmosphère du Soleil. Cette région, qui débute au-dessus de la surface visible du Soleil et s’étend sur des millions de kilomètres dans l’espace, est normalement invisible en raison de sa faible luminosité, comparée à celle du disque solaire.

During a total solar eclipse, the solar corona appears as a ghostly halo around the Moon's silhouette.
The solar corona is the Sun's atmosphere. This region, which begins above the Sun's visible surface and extends millions of kilometers into space, is normally invisible due to its low luminosity compared with that of the solar disk.

A busy time for the family so I took a few images in the backyard between shuttling people around. Not quite the same experience as the 2017 Eclipse where I was in totality, but still fun to see. And still amazed at how bright that little sliver of sun is! Without glasses you would not know there was an eclipse going on other than the dimmer light.
On the memorable day of April 8, 2024, as the moon's shadow enveloped parts of the Earth in a brief midday twilight, a remarkable celestial event was captured by astronomers and photography enthusiasts alike. Among these observers was myself, fortunate enough to photograph a rare and fleeting moment during the total solar eclipse—a moment that would immortalize the doomed comet SOHO-5008.
Comet was not visible by naked eyes, but when I checked one of my HDR images with exposure 2 second, I founded that doomed comet SOHO-5008 is visible on the photo!
My setup: Canon Ra, Canon EF200mm f/2.8L II USM Lens + Canon 2x III Extender = 400mm, F/8, ISO 200, 4sec - Westport, New York.
The comet, named "SOHO-5008", was discovered earlier that day by the vigilant eyes of amateur astronomer Worachate Boonplod. He spotted it in the images captured by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) coronagraph, marking the beginning of an unexpected celestial narrative. News of the discovery spread quickly, and astronomer Karl Battams of the Naval Research Lab highlighted the potential for ground-based observations during the eclipse. "Ground-based observations of sungrazing comets are extremely rare, so this would be a great opportunity to see an eclipse comet!" Battams had remarked, setting the stage for a once-in-a-lifetime observation.
The capture of comet SOHO-5008 during the solar eclipse is a poignant reminder of the ephemeral nature of our universe. Just as the eclipse brought darkness to the day, it also brought to light a comet on its final voyage. This celestial coincidence underscores the value of staying present and prepared—for in the world of astronomy, as in life, some of the most fascinating moments are those that are unplanned and fleeting.
The photograph of the disintegrating comet, set against the backdrop of the solar eclipse, will forever serve as a personal memento of a singular moment when the universe unveiled its wonders. It stands as a call to all who gaze upon it to look up and marvel at the vast, beautiful cosmos—a universe teeming with surprises, waiting to be discovered.
As my friend and I meticulously scrutinized various weather forecasts and consulted totality maps, the anticipation for our eclipse-chasing adventure grew with each passing moment. Eventually, we settled on Watertown, NY, only to find ourselves swayed by a little more promising prospects offered by Plattsburgh, NY, as indicated by the weather models. Undeterred by the 300-mile round trip, we made a trip to Plattsburgh to explore a location one day before. However, in the morning of April 8, the entire area was covered by clouds at 70% according to some weather models, and Plattsburgh did not look promising, either. Faced with this stark reality, we hastily redirected our course to Henderson, NY, clinging to the hope that our luck might change.
Arriving at Henderson, we were greeted by a sky adorned with wisps of high clouds, a sight that momentarily lifted our spirits. However, as the eclipse drew near, those clouds thickened, obscuring our view of the sun entirely. Disappointment hung heavy in the air, threatening to overshadow our entire endeavor.
But just when it seemed all was lost, a miraculous turn of events unfolded. In the final moments before totality, the sun pierced through the veil of clouds, casting an ethereal glow upon the landscape. As darkness descended, the celestial spectacle unfolded before our eyes—a radiant ring encircling the obscured sun, a sight so breathtaking it left us speechless. The collective cheering from fellow eclipse-watchers echoed across the field, evidence to the awe-inspiring power of nature. In that fleeting moment, I found myself humbled by the magical magnitude of the universe, the memory of which will forever be stayed in my mind.
This was my first time to observe the total eclipse and take a photo of it, which was not easy. Because of cloud, I was not able to get the one as I hoped (at this time, I do not mind). As I reflect on our unforgettable journey, I am reminded of the boundless wonders that await those willing to venture beyond the boundaries of familiarity. Despite of the challenges we met, the profound joy and wonder we experienced amidst the darkness reaffirmed that every moment was indeed worth the struggle.
Our family made a mad dash for Terre Haute Indiana to try to catch a glimpse of the total eclipse. We barely made it to our destination about ten minutes before totality. The kids were going wild and I was scrambling to try to set up the tripod. Solar photography isn’t my thing but I was thankful to get a couple of nice shots amidst the pandemonium. This one is of totality. Not sure if I prefer this or the other picture as totality is ending. What an amazing experience. It was definitely worth the trip!

We had to drive south toward Lake Erie to reach the path of totality. We intended to go to Long Point, but checking the weather this morning we decided to head further west for a better chance of no clouds. We ended up at Erieau, a 2 hour, 15 minute drive from home. Thin gauzy clouds did not block the spectacle, and maybe added to the eerie atmosphere.
When the darkness came over us, I wowed and whooped. Totality lasted about 2 minutes there. It was exciting to watch the sun, but I was glad I'd heard about other effects and took time to to photograph the surroundings. I like this better than my telephoto pics of the sun.
Totality had nearly ended, the shadow of the moon had nearly passed over, and weird dawn light approached from the west. I got an email address from the couple sitting near us so I could send them this photo.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
The "Ring" popped out through a cloud hole right at totality, after 100% cloud coverage most of the eclipse time at Henderson, NY. That was a moment of magic. #TotalEclipse2024
Amidst the rarefied beauty of celestial events, the Diamond Ring effect stands out as a fleeting, yet unforgettable moment. It heralds the beginning and conclusion of totality during a solar eclipse, a spectacle where the moon and the sun perform a celestial dance across the sky. This image captures that precise, breath-taking instant, frozen in time through the lens of a Canon EOS Ra camera, expertly paired with an EF200mm f/2.8L II USM lens and a 2x III extender. The result is a stunningly sharp focus at 400.0 mm, utilizing an aperture of ƒ/8, a fast shutter speed of 1/1000 to catch the ephemeral light, and an ISO setting of 200 for optimal clarity.
Positioned with precision, my setup included the iOptron SkyTracker, a tracking mount that compensates for the Earth's rotation, ensuring that the celestial bodies remained in sharp focus throughout the eclipse. This was not just about capturing light; it was about capturing a moment of astronomical significance, rendered with exquisite detail.
The orchestration of this shot was further enhanced by SET'n'C (Solar Eclipse Timer and Controller), an invaluable tool in the astrophotographer's arsenal. This software automated the photographic process, creating a sequence of exposures that perfectly captured the varying intensities of light throughout the eclipse's different phases. It was SET'n'C that ensured the timing was impeccable, capturing the Diamond Ring effect with precision—where the brilliance of the sun's corona peeks around the moon's edge, juxtaposed against the darkened sky, creating a spectacle reminiscent of a radiant diamond set against a dark band.
This photograph is more than an image; it's a celebration of the precision and beauty found in the cosmos, captured from a unique vantage point on Earth. It stands as a testament to the wonders of our universe, the capabilities of modern astrophotography, and the enduring allure of solar eclipses. Each element, from the choice of equipment to the application of technology like SET'n'C, was pivotal in bringing this awe-inspiring moment to light.
Totality... (EXPLORED)
A Total Lunar Eclipse happened two weeks ago. At 2;45 am I wernt out and started taking pictures of the celestial event. I had to set up my tropod and make sure I got my settings as accurate as i could. this was the result

Had a great view of totality - for about a minute and a half. Just before and after - we could glimpse Baily’s Beads, Solar Prominences and the Diamond Ring Effect. All we had to do was drive slightly southeast of Ottawa chasing clear skies. The Martintown park and community centre was a great find. What a fun time and great family outing!
Voici ce que l'éclipse totale du soleil permet de voir quand la lune cache complètement le soleil: La couronne solaire et une partie de sa chromosphère visible dans les proéminences rougâtres. Les températures dans la couronne peuvent frôler deux millions de degrés!

Looks like moon at night, but it's the sun in the early afternoon during the April 8th 2024 solar eclipse seen above Baltimore.
As Don MacLean said...
On that hot summer day
She blew me away
In a total eclipse of the sun
Today I was fortunate to be able to capture the solar eclipse from my own front yard.
