The photo below was taken by Space.com reader Rajat Kumar Pal from Stowe, Vermont.
“In this image, there’s a lot going on: first, obviously the eclipse itself, second, almost 40% cloud cover, making it difficult to get a clear image of the solar disk as well as the corona and other features; and third, when the clouds To interfere with the eclipse’s light intensity, play with the exposure constant! Parr told Space.com.
“Most importantly, it was an amazing experience to watch it with my wife Sudakshina, who experienced this after a long time (the last time she experienced a solar eclipse was when she was a child and she forgot most).
“It was a beautiful and surreal experience, and it was special to experience it with my wife!” Parr continued.
Pal’s wife Sudakshina Chakrabarty also captured incredible close-ups of the eclipse, with a diamond ring effect and visible pink prominences.
“This is my first photo of a total solar eclipse,” Chakrabarti told Space.com.
“For starters, this was not a very smooth journey as the weather across North America was very turbulent at this time. Although the morning sky was spotless, some light clouds started flying as soon as the eclipse began, forcing us to Update and change all camera settings in one moment,” Chakrabarty continued.
“Nonetheless, it was an otherworldly experience that we will never forget, and one I would never have been able to capture without Rajat’s guidance and lessons.”

“Had I not checked the ZWO telescope’s live feed as the plane flew over the sun, it would have been weeks before I stumbled across it and captured nearly four hours of video,” DeWitt continued.
Greg Meyer sent us three amazing photos of the solar eclipse and we couldn’t decide which one to include, so we thought “let’s show them all!”
Meyer captured these stunning images from Stonehenge II located on the center line of the eclipse in Kerrville, Texas.
Meyer used a Canon 6D Mark II with Sky-Watcher EQ6 R Pro mount and a Sigma 150-600mm lens (600mm, F8, ISO 500) to capture the eclipse in all its glory.

It’s like looking straight into the eye of a solar eclipse in this impressive full-length image taken by Jim Abel in Eustis, Maine. His journey to the eclipse was full of ups and downs, but it looks like it all paid off in the end!
“We went on a 1,100-mile road trip looking for a clear spot to capture the eclipse!” Abel told Space.com.
The first destination was the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. We arrived at noon on Saturday and found a great spot to photograph it. After waking up on Sunday, we checked the weather app and noticed clouds starting around 3pm, so we decided to drive another 5.5 hours to Eustis, Maine where there was 0% cloud cover.
“Since the hotel is fully booked, we sleep in the car. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it!”
In this case, the moon is illuminated by sunlight reflected from the Earth, a process called “terrestrial illumination.”

“I was delighted to capture the pink glow of the prominence at the beginning of the total solar eclipse,” Prinz told Space.com.

“I managed to get to Dallas, Texas, but I have to admit, it was a battle with the clouds,” Durie told Space.com
