Watching the Annular Eclipse in Midland, Texas

Getting Ready for the

Annular Eclipse

Shirts on...

Eric covered the lenses of our

Cell Phones, Binoculars, & my

Camera with custom-fitted

Solar Filter Sheets.

He also bought Solar Eclipse

Glasses for us to wear.

Eric tests out his binoculars

before the Annular

Eclipse starts.

The Sun before the Moon's

shadow moves across it.

The Moon is moving in

front of the Sun.

The blue is light intrusion through a small gap on my Lens Cover that allows some light in.

The Moon continues its

path in front of the Sun.

The Sun continues to

"shrink" as the Eclipse

progresses

These shots are wonderful

because of Eric's preparations.

Full Annular Eclipse...

The Ring of Fire!

The Moon's path continues

across the Sun.

The top Crescent grows

larger...

... & larger...

... & larger...

This has been an 

amazing experience.

Eric planned our trip to

Midland two years ago.

He carefully researched

RV Parks to ensure we

would have a perfect

Eclipse Viewing Spot.

I take pictures three minutes

apart...

... as the Annular Eclipse

comes to an end.  

The Eclipse has ended.

It was amazing!

Thank you, Eric, for all the planning that went into this unforgettable trip to Midland.
