Description

Being my second total solar eclipse, I was much more liberal in when I removed and replaced the scope and lens covers.  Pulling them earlier this time allowed me to snag a good look at the stage of disappearance of the sun toward the norther rim of the moon.  While appropriate attention has been given to the massive prominences on the other side, there's quite a bit to enjoy here on the opposite end.  Low thin clouds at the start of totality caused a small sacrifice in detail, but its nonetheless an image I'm very happy with, especially considering the sky improved as totality moved along.
