Partial Eclipse from the United States

[orion25]

This was an annular eclipse for those in the zone. My location (Georgia) got about 50% of the sun eclipsed by the moon. Wasn't sure if I was going to see it at all with the thick cloud dominating the morning hours. By noon, the clouds began to move out. I took several shots, some at prime focus and some with the DSLR only. I'm posting the best two out of the bunch.

You can see a sunspot in this prime focus shot through my 127mm Mak:

 

Here is a shot with my Nikon D3200 with 300x zoom lens:

Cheers!

Very very nice images👍 Are you going to travel to the path of totality for the total eclipse next year?

Great capture. If you zoom in at the edge of the moon, you can see the rough edges from its mountains.

I plan on it. I drove to the path of totality in 2017 and was amazed! My first total eclipse! It was like looking at a hole in the sky, very surreal 😳

Thanks, Kon. You're right; you can see the rough edges on the moon
