my eclipse photos

IMG_1441.CR2I viewed the eclipse from a state park at the western edge of South Carolina, and here are my photos.

The cameras and settings for each photo are detailed on each photo's page; the ones I shot with my Canon EOS 60D were through a 15-year-old 90mm Meade ETX telescope with manual tracking.

Appalachian-style tripodThe skies started out clear, but we started to despair as heavy clouds approached just before totality. Fortunately, the worst of it waited until after third contact, with a relatively thin veil of clouds slightly obscuring the details of the corona during totality, but all in all, the effect was still dazzling.
