Description

Image of the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 capturing the diamond ring at the time of C3 at the end of totality. 

See https://astrob.in/wz0sot/F/ for my eclipse story...  The end of totality was another jaw dropping experience.  The transition from darkness to bright light at C3 was jarring.  I was amazed at the power of that tiny sliver of sun re-emerging and how we instinctively looked away as brightness returned...

Imaged with a Astro-Tech AT60ED, 1.6x Antares Barlow, UVIR Cut Filter 2", and Nikon D5300 (astro modified). Imaging train was configured to give ~F/11 (FL=650mm).  Single exposure of 1/400 second at ISO-1600.

Processed in Pixinsight from RAW files:  debayering, noiseXterminator, color calibration, and generalized hyperbolic stretch.

Original:  Diamond Ring at C3

Rev B:  Series of three images taken at the time of the C3 diamond ring. Possible capture of Baily's Beads in the first frame.

Rev C:  Animated GIF created using PIPP from 8 frames taken at the time of C3
