My image was taken from a cruise ship, and the crew did a marvelous job of finding a hole in the clouds during the event. (pic below). R.W.

A once in a lifetime shot, congratulations.

I could barely manage the camera (full-frame sensor) on a tripod...

Although the eclipse wasn't total at my location, I did not two close lunar peaks close together on the p limb, so I knew there'd be a good Diamond Ring effect in it for someone...The corona doesn't look like a typical solar maximum elongated configuration though... hmmmmm Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
