PhotographerGary K FroehlichLocationFluvanna, TXDate5/20/2012 -- 8:44 PM CDTEquipmentNikon D3X with 600mm f/4 Nikkor lensDescriptionI wanted to capture the Sun at mid-annularity with foreground objects at a similar apparent size. The Sun would be near the horizon at mid-annularity on its centerline near Fluvanna, TX. The foreground objects had to be far away (for depth of field considerations) and very tall (to be the same apparent size). I found a position where tall wind turbines, some 6 miles away, were at the correct azimuth. I asked a local farmer for permission to set up there. (Later, Mike Meyer from Kansas asked the farmer where a good spot might be, and was directed to me). |

PhotographerLuca VanzellaLocationBrandy Creek Beach, Whiskeytown Lake National Recreation Area, near Redding CADateMay 20, 2012Equipment- Canon Rebel XTi, with 18-55mm lens set on 21mm. - Solar image: Baader solar filter (visual), all at ISO 200, most at 1/250 sec at f/5.6. - Foreground image: unfiltered, ISO 200, 1/1250 sec, f/8.0.DescriptionThis is a composite image of the eclipse. All frames taken with the camera in a fixed position. The average spacing between solar images is 5 minutes and the sequence is centered on annularity. The next to last 4 solar images were clouded out, but right near C4, the sun briefly reappeared in a gap, so the final solar image is just visible in the low cloud. The foreground frame was taken 33 minutes before first contact, hence the glare from the sun on the upper left. The various clouds in the sky are representative of that afternoon. |

PhotographerJames MaxwellLocationNear I-40 West of AlbuquerqueDateMay 20, 2012, 6:30-8:15 PM MDTEquipmentBaader Astrosolar filter and Narrowband Oxygen III Filter on Meade 8" Schmidt Newtonian, Losmandy G-11 Mount, and Modified Cannon 400D. 1 millisecond photos taken sequentially, and processed in Nebulosity and Photofilre. The Landscape photo was taken without the Astrosolar filter, and this was combined with the filtered images of the sun in photofilre to give perspective.DescriptionAfter the crowds left following annularity, we kept shooting, and happened to be in just the right location to photograph the sun passing through a distant wind farm at sunset. The photographs show the three-levels of nearby hills, with the wind turbines backlit by the sun. We estimate that the windmills were at least 20 miles from us. Sunspots are visible on the sun, as well as outlines of mountains on the moon. |

PhotographerRanny HeflinLocationAbove Hard Rock Casino Pavilion, Albuquerque NMDate20 May, 2012EquipmentEquipment: Hap Griffith modified 18mb Canon 60D 1/1000sec ISO 100 Orion Full-Aperture Solar Filter Orion ED80T CF Refractor f/6 Televue 2X Powermate (f/12)DescriptionDuring the early stages of the Annular Eclipse on 20 May 2012 in Albuquerque NM, a Jet crossed in front of the Sun. Less than a minute before, the jet had taken off from the airport at Albuquerque NM. The hot jet wash distorts the eclipse view as the airliner climbs away. |
