Total eclipse from Leakey, Texas
The clouds diminished our eclipse viewing considerably, but the whole experience was fun nevertheless. This was taken with an Askar FMA 180 and a Samsung NX 3000 mirrorless camera, mounted on a Vixen Polarie. The bright red prominences were visible with the naked eye, which was something I had not expected.

Re: Total eclipse from Leakey, Texas
Clouds plagued me too but like yours my session was a success. Aren't those magenta-pink prominences just beautiful!!

Re: Total eclipse from Leakey, Texas
When I saw the eclipse for the first time in 2017 I couldn't get over how beautiful the proms were. They just don't come out on camera what they look like with the naked eye. Those beautiful ruby sparkles! Did you manage to get any of the data you were after with the bending of starlight?

Re: Total eclipse from Leakey, Texas
The prominences were so bright red it was rather shocking. I think they were rather big this time.Montana wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 8:04 am When I saw the eclipse for the first time in 2017 I couldn't get over how beautiful the proms were.

I think all the gravitational bending of light data from Texas was unusable, but there was a second group in Mexico (near El Salto) that had much better weather. They seem to have collected some good data. I haven't had a chance to look it myself though.

Here is an image of the "diamond ring" during my cloudy eclipse. This one was taken 1 minute after the one above.
