The Annular eclipse timelapse
Finally the complete sequence as imaged on October 14th during the total annular eclipse from Albuquerque New Mexico.

For three hours I tracked the Sun and the moon with a skywatcher star tracker, taking a video every 30 seconds. I used the shortest exposure I could, 0.8ms, 70% histogram and shot 750 frames every 30seconds. The seeing ( atmospheric steadiness) was unlike anything I have every seen in all my days of solar imaging, clear crisp and steady…
The scope was a small and portable (lunt40mm), yet beautiful little H Alpha scope from Lunt and I used an ASI planetary camera. While I don’t normally use the ASI174MM with this little scope, the large sensor allowed for a view of the full disk of the sun.

All images of the sun were processed inverted so the dark regions are the bright active solar regions and the sunspots themselves are actually white. The H alpha scope allowed me to capture significant detail in the Sun’s chromosphere during the eclipse. Bright solar prominences along the edge and solar filaments were also seen.

The sun is very busy as we are approaching solar maximum so there were at least 5-6 active sunspot regions visible.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
