Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024 - GoPro Images

I recorded a wide view video of the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 using a GoPro Hero11 camera. I grabbed several frames that clearly showed the approach of the Moon's shadow at the time of the C2 contact. I also grabbed a series of snapshots from before, during, and after totality and compiled an animated GIF to show the progression.

See https://astrob.in/wz0sot/F/ for my eclipse story... The GoPro video shows the extent of the cloud cover we viewed the eclipse through. I remain amazed (and thankful) that we were able to observe as much of the eclipse as we did and to actually see the corona and prominences clearly during totality through all these clouds...

Imaged with a GoPro Hero 11.

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.
