Description:
This is a composite of the Total Solar eclipse , today , April 08, 2024. In this image, a lot of things are going on: first, obviously the eclipse itself, second almost 40 % of cloud cover, making it difficult to get a clear picture of the solar disc as well as the corona. and other features; and third, a constant for fiddling around with the exposure as clouds interfering with the intensity of light from the eclipsed Sun!! But above all, it was an amazing experience to watch it with my wife, Sudakshina! The foreground image got dark mostly because of the clouds floating between us and the eclipsed Sun! The image is taken between the C2 and C3 phase of the totality. The foreground in the image is Vermont's highest peak, Mt. Mansfield!
