#eclipse2024

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Here’s the moment when the “Full Harvest Moon / Super Moon” touched the lantern of the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse; as it rises over a flat-calm Courtmacsherry Bay in West Cork, Ireland on 17/09/2024! 🤩🥰📸🌽🌕🌙🌊🚤✨❤️

#Eclipse2024 #Corona

Finally had some time to process my photos of the polarized solar corona during the 2024-4-8 total eclipse. Shown here in false colour, the linear polarization angle is encoded into colour.
The corona's polarization is perpendicular to the radius.

From 12 colour photos taken between 15:27:46 and 15:29:28 with f/5.6; ISO-250; f = 128 mm; four exposure times 1/50, 1/5, 1, 2.5 sec. with three polarizations each: vertical (zenith toward top of image), +60°, et -60°.

@flyingsquirrel Thanks. That makes me feel slightly better, because we were never going to hang out at the side of the road near Elmira for 3 hours.

I wax actually surprised at how many people we saw at the side of the road. I speculate that making a relatively small effort for the total eclipse primed people to get out for the aurora.
