Totality Eclipse Images 4-8-2024

Revision title: Corona with Earth Shine

I hosted a watch neighborhood watch party at my house and had between 45 to 60 people show up. We had some scopes setup for viewing and lots of solar glasses. It was a great event, everyone was awe struck. The views of totality through my 20x80 Celestron binoculars were insane, so good, you could clearly see all the outer rim activity.

Here are few of my best captures of totality with my Canon D80 using a Canon 70-300mm lens. I used Eclipse Orchestrator, thank you Nico Carver for suggesting this in your video, to capture pics during totality. I got caught up with the event and did not check my camera positioning until halfway through totality and then notice the Sun was at the bottom. Oh well, my pics still turned out OK and I got to really enjoy the event. Hope you enjoy these images!!!!

Title: Corona with Earth Shine

Description: This took a while to process and figure out. This is a combination of a 2.5 second image to capture the Earth shine and a 1/3 second exposure on the corona. I did not think my Earth shine image had work, but then I played with all the various PS settings (exposure, contrast, etc.) and finally started to see some detail in the moon.

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.
