And the Earth could fit in the one at the bottom.

My camera info at the bottom.
enlarge that picture in poster size and display in your house. That's absolutely beautiful.
I did put it on my TV screen. Looked very cool.
You can say to yourself, I took that picture.

(34,024 posts)Which worked great. But at the totality, I had to take the filter off to see. This is with a straight zoom.

(12,906 posts)the corona and ejections make it really special.
Hell, post it to a stock photo site... for $$

It was hit or miss for me given i had to wear the eclipse glasses yet hold up my fone which i could not see to shoot the pix but i got good ones too, surprisingly. It was cloudy where we were & the clouds actually made it look kinda spooky & very cool at the same time. I couldn't grasp how dark it got.

(26,753 posts)I didn't get any pics this time, apart from a few very poor quality snaps on my cell phone. I did get a really good look through a good pair of binoculars. Could clearly see the solar flares.
