Annular Eclipse (Oct. 14, 2023)

 

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.
