Fire in the sky: Witnessing the ring of fire We drove 1600 miles (2500 km) round trip to Siever, Utah, to witness the ring of fire, a solar eclipse. On 2017-08-21 I observed the totality of a full solar eclipse, where you can see the corona around the sun. This time on 2023-10-14 the moon was further away from Earth, thus appeared to be smaller, which creates the ring of fire. We selected a spot that was exactly in the center path of the solar eclipse. The partial eclipse started at 9:08 MDT, the annular (ring of fire) was at 10:28 MDT, and ended at 11:56 MDT.

I set the interval timer to 10 sec. Because of the very long lens I had to move the camera frequently to keep the sun in the frame. This image is a composite if 15 images, each exactly 5 minutes apart, where the sun and moon move from the lower left to the upper right. The leftmost sickle is enlarged on the upper left. You can see two sunspots. Notice also the wiggles around the edges, caused by atmospheric refraction. During the day, the sun is warming up the atmosphere, which causes variation in the optical density of different layer's of earth atmosphere. This deviates light from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere, which results in the wiggles.

Looking at pictures of a solar eclipse is interesting, but experiencing it in person is a whole different level. It is mystical and emotional experience, hard to describe. All I can say is that I recommend to put this on your bucket list if you have not experienced one in person. Totally worth a trip!

I created a composite image from 15 JPG exposures, processed a soft HDR photo from that, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
