TSS Photo of the Day
One year ago today
One year ago today, I observed my 15th total solar eclipse. Getting there involved a 5000km, 10-day drive from the eastern states to the North West Cape, the only landfall in Australia.
.
Totality kicked off with a brilliant diamond ring. .
The inner corona was typical of a solar maximum with radially symmetric streamers and many prominences. .
This longer exposure captured streamers to 7 solar radii from the limb. .
.
The composite above was stitched from just three exposures
while that below was stitched from just two exposures.
.
This is a close crop of the above image. .
Finally, after 54s of totality, another dazzling diamond ring at 3rd contact. .
In this ultrawide image, the lunar umbra can be seen engulfing the sky. .
Three nights later, I captured this image of the moon and Venus.
