Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 Totality! Only the sun's corona is visible. Down here on the ground it appears like nighttime, and the temperature has cooled. One of us even put on a sweater due to the chill! This and the other pics were taken in Urbana, Ohio, at Freshwater Farms. It's a fish hatchery - but they also hosted an eclipse festival! #TotalEclipse2024
Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 Totality! Only the sun's corona is visible. At the bottom, slightly left, a prominence from the sun can be seen (purple blur). This is an area of ionized gas projecting from the sun's surface. Down here on the ground it appears like nighttime, and the temperature has cooled. One of us even put on a sweater due to the chill! #TotalEclipse2024

Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 Very close to totality! The outline of the moon is barely visible, which I assume is actually the sun's corona. #TotalEclipse2024
Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 This pic was taken with a 300mm telephoto lens with three stacked ND filters. The three filters reduced light by 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 respectively, for a total of 1/512 light transmittance (0.195% of actual light enters the lens). Even with these filters, the photo is over-exposed. The light entering is so strong it bounces inside the lens and produces artifacts - i.e. shadow images of the actual image. #TotalEclipse2024
