Mark, I'm addicted, so I'll be there. Let's remember to shoot it together again in 2024. I learned a few things getting ready for this one and then actually shooting. I did well, but some of my buddies screwed up, even with the same equipment. The keep-it-simple rule worked out for me.

Denver had around 92%, so my wife and daughter could compare their experience to mine. It's a huge difference. Get to totality next time.

Went to go see the Eclipse but ended up just seeing a big black dot in the sky....
No ISS, I shot before and after. I need a new camera.

The fires and smoke were intense in Oregon, the smoke reached all the way into space.
On the ancient 40D which I set up just for the corona, big difference in quality of the images between a 7D+2xiii+100-400ii and 40D+1.4xii+300/4is. Then again, the 7D was tripod mounted with IS on.

Kevin, your shot of the flares is about as good as I've seen.

The corona is a bitch. I'll try stacking some together this weekend, to try to get the full range of the corona.

I pretty much got what I wished for as far as pictures and the quality. So worried about the fires as we were on the edge of the smoke/cloud bank.
Thank you for the complements.

Either Mazaltan on the beach or Texas in 24 if I go.

Not bad options.

You got me thinking about using HiltonHonors points to be on a beach in the zone of totality.

We'll have totality here, but the weather here in April can be very iffy. I'm also thinking about Texas. Our local airport has direct flights to Dallas and even driving to Dallas is doable in a day.

While waiting for the lock to close on the Columbia, these were having a nice time showing off. Too bad I didn't have any AF though as most of the images are garbage.
