We really had pretty good weather after lots of worry about clouds in the forecasts leading up to April 8! Ken and I photographed our 3rd eclipse together and the near solar maximum corona did not disappoint! Here’s a quick 1st pass edit of our star followed by an image as processed by Lightroom’s AI de-noising software.
The third image is one that I took a bit more time thinking about and processing. It’s one of the first images I took during the eclipse with the shortest capture time. Less of the outer corona is visible, but this allows for more details to emerge in the atmosphere closest to the Sun—including some indications of solar prominences!
