Continuum Composite
This 35 image composite of the continuum from the diamond ring, to Bailey’s beads, prominences, and the chromosphere displays images spaced 1 second apart. The center was extracted from a corona image photographed mid-eclipse. Photographed at my observatory using an Astro-Physics 155 f/7 refractor 4-8-2024.
Bailey's Beads
Beads of light from the sun are shining between the peaks and valleys of the moon just before totality. .Photographed with an Astro-Physics 155 f/7 refractor.
Chromosphere and Prominences
This is a composite of 2 images from the 2024 solar eclipse photographed from my observatory near Bloomington, In. The prominences were spectacular. Photographed with an Astro-Physics 155 f/7 refractor.
Bailey's Beads
Beads of light from the sun are shining between the peaks and valleys of the moon just before totality ends. Photographed with an Astro-Physics 155 f/7 refractor.
Diamonds, Corona, and Earthshine
This composite contains shots of the first and second diamond rings along with the 12 image corona composite that was made previously. All photographed at my home observatory near Bloomington, In with a TEC 110 refractor.
Solar Eclipse 4-8-2024
I will be adding images from the solar eclipse over time. With over 700 shots from 3 telescopes I have plenty to work with and look forward to what will come from this once in a lifetime photographic experience and event . This was the third total eclipse that I have photographed but what made this event extra special was staying home and enjoying the solitude of our property with my wife Kris. No crowds, just us with our telescopes witnessing natures most grand art display.
