Description

The April 8th 2024 total solar eclipse was my second eclipse and it only reinforced my belief that it is the most beautiful natural event on Earth.  The best part about this time around was that my boys are now old enough to remember the experience.  For the eclipse we drove down from our home in Michigan to Muncie Indiana.  I watched the forecast like a hawk in the days and hours leading up to the eclipse.  In the end we dealt with some high level clouds but nothing that got in the way of the majesty of totality.  I don't think I've ever seen an image or video of totality that fully captures its insane beauty but here's my sequence of the eclipse from first to fourth contact including an HDR image of totality which is my best attempt at this time in doing so.
