Description

April 8th was Solar Eclipse Day for most of you but for me it was also my last
radiation treatment (6 weeks) so it was Ring the Bell Day as well!

I had planned to go to Texas for this, but cancer had other plans.  Even
if I had finished last week taking a trip like that would have too much. So,
after my treatment which ended about 11:30 AM I setup my 80mm
Meade APO and waited until the eclipse started at around 1:50.  I
took and image every 2 to 3 minutes, towards the end some clouds
and haze did start to come in.

I used an Orion Solar Mylar Filter and exposure times of .89 - 1.36 ms

I then played George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" on one of my
Nylon String Guitars and tried to sync it to the video.
