Diamond Ring
As the Moon prepares to snuff out the last visible portion of the Sun we see the "Diamond Ring" effect. Taken with Vixen 80mm refractor and Canon t6s during the 2017 Great American Eclipse.
Totality
With the Sun's surface now hidden we see the ghostly "corona" atmosphere streaming away for our home star. Taken with Vixen 80mm refractor and Canon t6s during the 2017 Great American Eclipse.
Solar Prominence
As the Sun fights to emerge from behind the retreating Moon we see the firey red prominences at the border of the two bodies. Taken with Vixen 80mm refractor and Canon t6s during the 2017 Great American Eclipse.
