Traveled to Jackson, Missouri to see the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. It was spectacular!

Very honored that this photo was one of 44 included in NASA's gallery of Flickr Eclipse photos!
Here is my shot of the totality, taken around 3:15 this afternoon. It did not disappoint. This was awesome to see in person
Here is a collage of my images from today's total solar eclipse here in Ohio. It was such an amazing experience, so much more than I had anticipated.
GoPro 11 hyper-wide field video capturing the moon's umbra shadow looking southwest. The dynamic range of more than 6 f-stops was a bit too much for the auto exposure of this action camera. About the last 30 secs of the 2 min 43s of totality revealed the eclipse sun. Immediately after disappearing behind the clouds 3rd contact brightened the sky. This video was sped up 4x.

We actually had a very eclectic and international group of friends who celebrated with us! They brought telescopes that tracked the sun and allowed us to share their great looks at the event too!
Viewing the Solar Eclipse in Salem, NH with my co-workers. My company made special t-shirts for the event. Music and snacks and free solar glasses made it a memorable event!
I brought a few homemade viewers to use since I didn't have the right solar filter for my camera. My cereal box viewer was great. But my favorite photo was of the shadows of the crescent as it was filtered through the tree branches onto a white plastic picnic table!
I had trouble with the focus on this camera during totality and this was the result.
The blurriness gives a modern art effect to the diamond ring at totality.
Not sure if the spots on the disk are sunspots or something else between the sun and us, but I know they're not from dust in the camera, as they appear in the same position on the disk regardless of where the sun was in the frame (and I took quite a few shots for reference)...
This was the best I shot could get of the eclipse as seen from Livermore (CA) with the gear I had to hand - maximum 34% covered.

Beyond its astronomical wonder and humanity biggest achievement of predicting solar eclipses. Do you know how complicated mathematically to figure all that out to the seconds? You literally have to know the diameters, distance, angles of the shadows, and the orbital mechanics of Earth, moon, and sun system all into one complicated equation.
The total solar eclipse holds a spiritual significance to understand your own connection with the universe. Connect with ancient wisdom like our ancestors did.
The 2024 solar eclipse was excellent at the Northern Skies Observatory (NSO) in the small town of Peacham, Vermont. Peacham was within the "path of totality", so the moon fully covered the sun for a short period, occurring from 3:26 PM to 3:29 PM here. Via microphone, the staff kept everyone informed on the countdown towards totality, as well as what to expect with temperature and wind changes caused by the eclipse. They also had provided viewing glasses to anyone that didn't have them.
It was amazing how dark it got during totality, with the temperature dropping about 10 degrees Fahrenheit due to the temporary blocking of the sun's heat. There also was a noticeable "eclipse wind" shortly after totality, estimated at 10 mph and lasting for 10 to 15 seconds.
This photo was taken at 3:18 PM, about 8 minutes prior to totality. There were many more people at the event than shown here. My intention was to make sure the observatory was also included in the photo.

Updates:
It was reported on 04/11/2024 that the eclipse had a huge positive impact on Vermont's economy. With Vermont's total population of 650,000 people, it was estimated that the eclipse drew 160,000 visitors to the state by plane, train, and automobile, making it the biggest event ever for the state.
Also, many thanks to the NASA HQ team for adding this photo to their eclipse gallery. It is much appreciated. www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/galleries/7215772270268...
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.
I will preface my commentary below with a special thank you to my beloved husband, who sat beside me, calling off the time for each minute of the entire solar event, so that I was sure to catch every change. We are highly unlikely to witness the next Solar Eclipse in 2044, as we are 72 & 84, respectively.
If anyone may think this series of eclipse photos has duplication, it is actually not the case. If you enlarge each image and look for the sunspot, AR3268, located in the center of the sun's surface, you can see the progression of the moon "eclipsing" aka covering the sun as each minute goes by. Then you can see the sunspot become visible again when the eclipse is over.
The first, second, and third stages of this series were taken in my backyard, while the fourth and fifth stages were taken near the end of my driveway. I was seated in a lawn chair, handholding and manually focusing my equipment for each shot.
I wore protective eyewear and used a "white light" lens filter-77-T by Thousand Oaks Optical of Kingman, Arizona. This type of filter is used to detect sunspots and granulation. It protects the lens, camera and eyes from permanent damage that would occur from looking directly at the sun.
In many of the photos, sunspots can be seen before, during, and after the Partial Solar Eclipse, which provides a unique perspective of the changes minute by minute throughout the entire event.
*The sunspots are outlined on this photo. Scroll over the photo to see them.
"Sunspots are areas that appear dark on the surface of the Sun. They appear dark because they are cooler than other parts of the Sun’s surface. Solar flares are a sudden explosion of energy caused by tangling, crossing or reorganizing of magnetic field lines near sunspots."

"The 5 stages of the 2024 total solar eclipse explained for April 8, 2024" Written by Robert Lea
STAGE 1
"In the initial stage of the eclipse, the moon will begin to pass in front of the sun, kick-starting a partial solar eclipse. During this phase, the darkened lunar disk of the moon will make the sun appear as if a bite has been taken out of its illuminated face. This "bite" will get bigger and bigger as the totality approaches.
STAGE 2
"First contact will last for between 70 and 80 minutes, and its conclusion will be marked by a single bright spot, or "diamond ring," appearing at the edge of the moon. This marks the second contact stage and heralds the oncoming totality.
STAGE 3
"Stage 3 and the mid-point of the total solar eclipse is the totality. At this point, the moon completely covers the solar disk. During the totality of the outer atmosphere of the sun, the corona may become visible as white streamers at the edge of the moon. This region is usually washed out by bright light from the solar surface, the photosphere. The inner atmosphere of the sun, the chromosphere, may be visible as a wispy aura around the edge of the moon.
STAGE 4
"The fourth stage of the total solar eclipse, third contact, will see the moon start to move away from the disk of the sun, thus ending the totality and starting the second partial eclipse period. Brightening appears on the opposite side of the moon as it did during the second contact period.
STAGE 5
"The fifth and final stage of the total solar eclipse. The moon moves away from the disk of the sun, meaning that at fourth contact, the moon is no longer even partially eclipsing the sun. At this point, 2024's total solar eclipse will be over."

This is how I have to capture the eclipse from my place
April 8, 2024
Location: Guarachanillo Mich. Mex
Fujifilm X-T5 XF150-600mm Kase Filter ND100000
34% covered. That's the most we are going to get here.
Good thing that I saved my solar lens filter from the 2017 solar eclipse, when I saw a total eclipse (flic.kr/p/XKn6yr and adjacent images).

It’s officially here, eclipse day! Just a quick reminder to only view the eclipse with the correct safety precautions. If you aren’t sure what those are, double check the details on NASA’s eclipse safety page.
Here’s a quick link to the interactive map to make sure you have your timing on point.
And don’t forget to tag your pictures from the event with #TotalEclipse2024 for a chance to be featured in a gallery on NASA’s official Flickr site. Pictures of your surroundings, other spectators watching the eclipse, the eclipse itself (with proper safety protocol) or anything else that you think captures the vibe from today’s event are all welcome. We can’t wait to see your photos!
