JL Solar Eclipse August 21, 2017

I started out with a short lens and caught the moon about 4/5 the way across the sun.

Realized I needed a longer lens, changed to my 400mm and got almost as much of the 93% eclipse as was possible for our area.

Then I got the moon as it was exiting the solar disk area.

My crabby left arm jerked, I lost some of my rigging to protect the camera lens and got this very interesting shot.

I hope that each of you in some way or another got to interact with this wonderful spectacle.

Full lunar eclipse, full moon, October 8, 2014. I struggled trying to get my camera right and give to all of you decent photos. There were several photographers, videographers and binocular users at the site on the lake and there was sharing of how-tos. The maximum coverage occurred after the moon entered the horizon haze, got outmatched by the rising sun and was lost to our view. There was a collective sigh.
