Yesterday's eclipse was epic. It was a great time with my friends and the airport staff and volunteers at Mt. Vernon airport were fantastic. Andy, Kristine, and Kyle are always a joy to travel with, and Andy's abilities as a pilot always get us to the right spots on time.
I stressed about shooting this for months. My friends and I had this planned since 2017. It was a sense achievement and melancholy towards the end of totality realizing that the event was wrapping up. I can't wait to take my kids to see something like this when they're old enough to appreciate it.
I shot this on a SeeStar S50. It was a breeze to set up and use, and kept remarkable tracking during the entire event.
Prior to shooting this, I read various articles and tutorials by Alan Dyer, Mike Shaw, and Royce Bair. The knowledge I gained from their work helped me plan and helped shape my expectations for what I could capture.
I can't wait for the next one and I can't wait to share it with those who couldn't see it themselves!!

That was cool. I was at the dentist and missed the entire thing. Thanks for this video :)

I didn't take any pictures during the eclipse (cloudless totality on the shore of lake champlain) because my phone is kinda garbage and surely everyone else online was going to get pictures with like... real cameras? Today it's disappointing how many pictures are through cloud cover. I feel bad I don't own a better camera

You ruined it with all that text splattered over it advertising yourself.

Thanks. I missed it, you got this, and now I saw it. And I’m ok with that.

I had 6 1/2 years to plan and ended up fn up. Shutter jammed for 30 seconds of totality and missed longer exposures of the corona while also forgetting to just freaking focus on the event in the sky!! Great video, thank you so much for sharing!!

The pictures of the Sun are neat and all, but what I find way more fascinating are the pix of the surrounding countryside in darkness

I Wanna say Two Steps from Hell, but it sounds more like Audiomachine

I SAW that, with my eyeballs! It appeared like a little red dot!

In a few hours, the earth is going to get between the Sun and I. If this lasts for more than 4 minutes I'm going to have to buy those glasses.

2045! Next one here in the US, and it'll go right over my house! Excellent video. It was pretty cloudy where I was, but I was able to get a few decent shots throughout.

Great job!!!

I could see the prominence as a little red dot during totality.

Same! I was like "is that a flare off the sun? Am I seeing that with my own eyes?!"

I think more than totality, I was surprised by ... well, how powerful as the Sun is, as silly as that sounds. Looking up at the sky with your naked eye, you'd never know anything was up until 99.9% coverage, and even then, it's because the *sky* starts to get dark. The Sun still looks like a pure white, blown out point of light. The difference between 0% eclipsed, and 99.8% eclipsed was basically nothing in terms of daylight.

Definitely my favorite part. At sunset everything is orange. But the eclipse is like everything is just getting less bright everywhere at once. It's a surreal feeling.

But warmth was another thing. It got sooo cold even before totality

Ah my fucking eyes, thanks a lot

It's safe. Imgur has filters included in it. That's why it runs slow.

You should have brought your uno reverse card to blind the sun.

Don’t look directly at it, you should be good.

I looked at the trap ray!

Did you need your eyes to begin with? I mean look at how cool daredevil is.

I was lucky enough to witness totality in Maine with an absolutely clear sky for about 1.5 minutes. I only wish images/videos could do it justice. There's so much more to the experience that I can't put into words. Once in a lifetime for me.

I got the same in Arkansas. Absolutely incredible!

I went to greenville how about you
VampKillian
Ended up in Madrid. So glad I spent the time to go see it at 100%

Waterville! Left 1 minute after totality, I had to work. We hit 99 percent there though
