| Sunrise, my first shot. |

| Before first contact. You can see sunspots near the center, upper right, and down near the edge, left of center. |

| At this point, the images are all circular, more or less! |

| Getting pretty close now! |
 |
| Notice the shape of the pinholes now! |
 |
| Any Second Now! |
 |
| Bingo! All of a sudden, this weird thing is just hanging up there in the sky! |
 |
| Then someone shouts "Diamond Ring!" and it's over. |
 |
| People are pretty happy now! |
 |
| There were even these crazy people climbing this rock during the whole thing. |
 |
| And now the moon says, "I'm outta here!" and proceeds on its way out. |
Fabulous pics! We went as far north as Mount Shasta and drove up to about 6,500 feet. Good view of about 89-90% coverage. The temperature dropped and the light made colors look desaturated. Maybe in 2024 we'll plan better and get ourselves under the path for a 100% view.
ReplyDeleteGotta say, the 100% is a whole different beast. Yeah, gotta stay healthy for 2024!
