4 years ago, Eclipse
I can't believe it's been 4 years since the eclipse.
I don't doAP , but I did capture the event with my cellphone and Orion ST80.

Re: 4 years ago, Eclipse
Yup, 4 years, seems like yesterday!! I think back and remember scanning the farm field adjacent and seeing the cows laying down and the sheep bunched up. And the blinding vivid hot pink of the chromosphere at third contact.

Re: 4 years ago, Eclipse
I drove about an hour south into SC for totality, along with a few club members.
There where many prayers that day in that park to keep the clouds at bay. Ten minutes after it was all over the clouds advanced.

Re: 4 years ago, Eclipse
Nice shots Jeff! Funny you should post this; I was going through some old pictures earlier this week and came across the ones I took and thought, Wow, almost 4 years... We were still on AF back then!
I too took some pics with my then new Baader solar film. We won't discuss or post those results
Thanks for the memories; can't wait for August 8, 2024!
All the best,
