Equipment

Olympus FE-46 on a tripod.

Description

This is a quick shot taken through the haze near sunset of the first part of the solar eclipse. For our location, the sun set within a few minutes of the start of the eclipse. There was just enough haze to reduce the light enough to capture this view.

Location

Page, Arizona USA

Date

Equipment

Canon Rebel XT; 300mm Lens with IS (hand-held); Baader AstroSolar Film; Color added in Paint Shop Pro.

Description

I used NASA's eclipse maps to locate the place where the centerline crossed highway 89, south of Page, AZ. To my surprise, when I showed up there for the eclipse, a handful of other people had picked the same spot! It was well worth the 800-mile drive (round-trip) to be able to capture the moon centered in the sun. The weather in Page was perfect, of course! And it's such a beautiful place to visit. Wow! What an experience!
