haikos Posted April 8 Share #1 Posted April 8 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. Welcome, dear visitor!

smkoush Posted April 10 Share #8 Posted April 10 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. Welcome, dear visitor!

haikos Posted April 11 Author Share #10 Posted April 11 Now that I've experienced it, I can totally understand people who travel far and wide for such an event. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arichter Posted April 11 Share #12 Posted April 11 And in July of 2028 Sydney, Australia will experience 3m 48s of totality! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
