Here are some more images of the 2017 Eclipse. Below is a nice composite image of the Eclipse sequence captured by Thom Pfeil on Casper Mountain in Wyoming. He used a Mallincam SkyRaider SLP camera on a Coronado PST for the partial phases and a Canon digital camera for totality.
The total Eclipse image in the middle is the same one of Thom’s I included at the end of my last blog. It is a really great image of the highly visible Corona extending out from the Sun during the period of totality.
Thom is offering 8.5 x 11 and 11x14 prints of this image on ebay at
m.ebay.com/itm/182777004588?_mwBanner=1
and composite sequence prints at
www.ebay.com/itm/182780324875
I have both of these prints and they are truly outstanding! if you would like a print of the 2017 total Eclipse and/or the Eclipse sequence, I can highly recommend them.
Thom also put together an interesting composite video clip you can view at

Here is a NASA image taken from Madras, Oregon, showing the Diamond Ring effect as the moon makes it final move over the Sun.
A NASA team in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, provided a live video feed using a MallinCam DS2.3+ on an Orion ED80 telescope. This location provided the maximum duration of the total eclipse period. Here is a link to a 3.5 minute NASA video of the raw camera feed (no post processing) from just before totality to just afterwards.

This live recording gives you a feel for what it is like to be there, and you clearly see the Diamond Ring effect. In some ways, it seems the total eclipse portion lasted awhile, like time stood still. In other ways, it was over before you knew it, and then it was a memory.
We are lucky that there will be another chance so soon to see another total eclipse on April 8, 2024. Set your clock for 7 years to try to be in a place of totality and experience it yourself!
