I'm ready #greatamericaneclipse2017 #august212017 **Make sure you put the filter on before you point the camera and the sun. Don't look through the viewfinder. Always use solar safety glasses**

The one photo I wanted to be sure to catch during the total eclipse from my vantage point in southern Illinois was the "diamond ring" effect. If the Moon were perfectly smooth, we wouldn't see what are called Baily's Beads. These are when the irregular topography of the edge of the Moon (mountains, valleys, craters, etc) allow bits of the Sun's surface, the photosphere, to peek through. They were named for British astronomer Francis Baily who first provided a detailed description of the phenomena in 1836- though Edmund Halley of Halley's Comet fame did describe them briefly and the cause correctly during his observations of a 1715 eclipse. If you catch it just right in the few seconds before totality or the few second after totality, you get the brightest of the Baily's Beads phenomena, the beautiful diamond ring effect. The trick in photographing it is that you can't see it with a solar filter in place but if you wait too long, the emerging solar disk will be too bright with all the deleterious consequences of looking at it without protection. My photo of the diamond ring effect was right at the end of totality and you can see solar prominences along the limb of the Moon above and below the "diamond". I will be posting other photos from last month's eclipse at my @squawking1200 account. #GreatAmericanEclipse #GreatAmericanEclipse2017 #totaleclipse #solareclipse #solareclipse2017 #GiantCityStatePark #Makanda #Illinois #astrophotography #solarphotography #ScienceGeek #astronomy (at Giant City State Park)

Hey listeners! Have you started listening to Soonish? May I suggest you start immediately? It's kicking off a new season with a glorious, poignant road trip across America that culminates in my in-laws and me totally freaking out at the solar eclipse in August. I make a HIGHLY original joke about coronas and lime. Give it a listen, and subscribe! . https://www.soonishpodcast.org/episodes/2017/9/14/201-shadows-of-august-the-eclipse-road-trip-edition . #soonish #soonishpodcast #greatamericaneclipse #greatamericaneclipse2017 #eclipse #podcast #podcastersofinstagram

It took 28 hours (total) to make what should have been a 13-hour trip home. It included a harrowing apocalypse-sized traffic jam that crawled through the mountains into the wee hours as dozens of carloads of travelers gave up and parked by the side of the road (also, it wasn't only bears that sh*t in the woods last night, if you know what I'm saying 😧) and which necessitated a 5-hour stay at a not inexpensive suite just to get 3 hours of sleep (checked in at 6:15 am and left at 11 am) to get home, but The Great American Eclipse was. Total(ity). Worth. It. #greatamericaneclipse2017 #madras #eclipse2017
