Here
is my take on the annular eclipse. I tried to set up near the
center line in Beeville or George West (both Texas towns) but met clouds. With time running
out, I drove north and bet on Kenedy, TX's Joe Gulley Park---and then for 40 minutes shot through every
break in the (still present) clouds. It was pretty exciting. These are various exposures through the SWED80 and 0.85x reducer-flattener and my old Canon T3i. Oddly, perhaps, I am most pleased by the clarity of the sunspot in the second image. I had very little time to focus and was happy to see that detail.
