This morning, I realized that on this day last year was the solar eclipse and I drove about an hour and a half away to get over 3 minutes of totality instead of 20 seconds at home.

Here is a photo from that event:

Leica M4, Summilux 35 FLE (v1), and Portra 400.

We travelled to Texas to see it. Fortunately the clouds parted at the right moment.

That's right! A year ago. The most spectacular phenomenon I have ever seen. Leica M10 at 612mm f/6.65 (Astro-Physics Stowaway).

We observed the eclipse just west of Montpellier, VT. Duration was 1m40s. Here is another one (showing Bailey's beads). Same equipment as the one above.

Now that I've experienced it, I can totally understand people who travel far and wide for such an event. 

I totally agree, totality is very special! There is an enormous difference between a 99% partial solar eclipse and totality, the most fascinating celestial event I've ever seen. We are planning to go see the next one in Spain next summer (2026).

Thanks for that little bit of info, we were just discussing vacation plans the other day.

And in July of 2028 Sydney, Australia will experience 3m 48s of totality!

OMG! Would love to make that trip too. Well, not the flights... sleep in Canada, wake up in Sydney would be perfect!
